Here's a copy of the made up story that went 'round the world and back to
Dr. Brooks via a number of his colleagues at Brown, MIT, etc. I believe ...
Here are a few links that contains the posting after it was forwarded around
a bit ....

Man Strips, Quacks After Committee Denies His Orals
The Associated Press
CHAPEL HILL -- An upset graduate student was arrested after he
stripped
off his clothes and quacked like a duck when his orals application
was denied.
"It was a first for us," Department spokesperson Fred Brooks said.
The unidentified almost 30-year-old man was seated naked in a
professor's office in the graphics department when police arrived
Thursday. Officials said he replied with duck quacks when questioned
by police.
After his arrest, police said he caused $1,000 damage to a police
vehicle by butting his head into a window frame and kicking a door.
Magistrate Gabe Quintanilla ordered the man held for psychiatric
evaluation.
Committee officials would not disclose why the man's orals were
rejected.
The author said she would like to remain anonymous....
Funny thing, this fake news article was based on an article about a bank
customer who was denied a
loan or something - it later turned out to be a fake as well.
