From the Fringe

Some joker wanted to add to Pitt Lake Gold item on Wikipedia the following (merciful deleted)note:
In January 2008 British explorer Nathan G Clarke claimed to be in possesion of a map wherein the exact location of the gold is revealed. The map had been in the archive vaults of the Romford International Museum. Plans to investigate the sites shown on the map are due for May 2008.

Nathan G Clarke, probably the creator of this nonsense, is a 24 year-old resident of Sydney, NSW. This "British explorer" visited Vancouver BC in 2006 on what seems to be his first trip outside his native Australia. There is of course no Romford International Museum.
