Anyway, it doesn't matter as I couldn't find the original article
searching through the L.A. Times. There are other articles in the
L.A. Times indicating that it might be a hoax. From 2008:

Better yet, Snopes says it is mostly a hoax:

If you got to the LATimes via Google, Tom says that's a hoax. And Tom says
Snopes is a hoax.

IOW, Tom is the final authority. Do not dispute the final authority.
