News on the Internet (and blogging for that matter) can be a very circuitous thing. One network writes this, another picks it up and puts a different shine to it and repackages it for consumption by its particular readers. Indeed I know of one major news organisation that in certain circumstances will fax information through to its journalists in the field and the journalist then sends that same information back as news. If the bigwigs do it you can be assured they all do it. All of which is a roundabout way of saying I wrote about people not being fat enough to interest sharks way back on August 18, but it's only just hit the features desk of the Sydney Morning Herald today. No, I don't have any readers who also read the SMH. :+(
