California's Propulsion Field Laboratory? Sounds like they're trying to say NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). So are they just idiots not bothering to check the facts (we knew that), or trying to obfuscate by manipulating the name to throw off references (could be), or some other reason?
WeeklyWorldNews has long been an entertaining spoof news report. They deliberately skew facts to make them sound semi-credible, but anyone with half a brain can see that their just taking the number 1's (mickey).

Factual? No. But damn entertaining and it really unviels the kind of ill-informed hand waving you get from woo-woos. Not to mention the underpinning BartSibrel.
