Saw that yesterday and meant to post here but hadn't got round to it. It's Tyson Homosexual all over again.

I think what they've done here is lifted the story from elsewhere and asked the computer to change a few words to avoid accusations of plagiarism. Idiots.

I've not, but I'm pretty sure I posted a photo of a signpost to it on here some years ago.

I've been to both the Orkney and Shetland ones.

Part of my job involves investigating cases of student misconduct in their assessments. It is not unheard of for students to crudely apply automated synonym substitution in a failed effort to avoid plagiarism detection software. I've seen submissions with "multi-spy systems" [agent]; "data furniture" [tables] and "computing climate" [environment].
