BOGUS!! No reference given.

Somebody called Investors Business Daily, they never printed the
article.

Additionally, there is no such organization as the United

school education know that the United Nations' health organization is
called the World Health Organization or W.H.O. (and it's lead singer
is NOT Roger Daltry... :-)
