Jesus, what will they think of next? About a week ago, Ev posted a message at blogger about a member of the blog community, "Kaycee", who had succumbed that day to leukemia. Her blog chronicled her fight with this disease. I had never heard about her before, but followed Ev's link and read some of her journal entries, including one from "Debbie", her friend, on the day she died. It was all very sad.

Well, come to find out, the entire thing was a hoax. The guy who provided server space for Kaycee's blog, BWG, was also duped and is feeling especially betrayed [be sure to read this page in chronological order - from the bottom, up]. If you want to read or participate in some heated discussion on the whole thing, head over to metafilter. This is quite the brouhaha.
