> The Sirens of Titan [1] is a comic science fiction novel by Kurt Vonnegut Jr., first published in 1959. His second novel, it involves issues of free will, omniscience, and the overall purpose of human history, with much of the story revolving around a Martian invasion of Earth.
I'm not the poster of the original comment, just wanted to point out that The Sirens of Titan has a similar storyline. If I have to guess, the GP might have meant the absurdity of the article and casual mention of an unbelievable "fact".
