Now if they've taken the bloke by mistake to the handbag factory, that would be unlucky...

And has been bouncing around the BBC News "Most Read" section for at least one day a month ever since it was published.

Yeah the date's right on the top but what's that got to do with anything ?? I didn't know the misfortune had to be current! 
It's listed on the current BBC news page as one of the most popular stores right now so I guess quite a few people are still reading it all these aeons later....

Therein lies a secret murky tale of teh interwebs - people resend old emails to mailing lists with links in, every so often there's a progressive rush of forwarding and clicking which pushes old links up the popular links list, whereupon people like you and me go 'oo, interesting headline about testicles' and click it, resulting in a feedback loop. There's one about Indian men needing smaller condoms which frequently comes back to life like a bad Mexican meal.
