I also agree that a classification of the article as humor would have help. I happen to read the comments before I read the story, so I knew it was a fake.
You make a great point though - this site is NOT A RESOURCE! This site is a gateway to resources - citing many other websites and publications. In addition, this site is aptly named a "blog" which I should think entitles it to some amount of personal opinion...
So, the lesson here? Check your resources! Just 'cuz scienceblog says it is true doesn't make it so.
