9000 retweets for a false claim. As often happens with false viral tweets, the author says it was a joke. I don't get the joke? The people replying seem to be taking it as a factual claim, too. https://t.co/DGf1TdHMh6

Must be something about Twitter. Like the retweets of this "lie." I find that hilarious.

Must be something about my sense of humour.
