Yes, you are quite correct to be suspicious of such a '"real" fact.' That must be what I meant, though I was quoting, or more accurately, paraphrasing, something said by a blogger known for his humorous use of exaggeration and irony.

That reminds me, I am deeply upset by your use of a dead chicken as headgear, as shown in your avatar, and am going to call on my friends in PETA to set up a picket line outside your house and workplace.
