Yeah, I kinda figured. I also emailed that story to my friend in Tokyo, and they replied pretty quick - they thought it was hilarious, but almost certainly fake (cuz nobody there had heard anything about it, nothing on the news etc.). Plus it just didn't make sense... everyone in Japan knows what a sheep looks like!

I would categorize this post as a BUMP.
Whether it is appropriate for this topic may be open to debate.
The link in the OP doesn't work.
So I thought this might be an appropriate depository for scam mails etc.
