It looks like the jig is up for that great blues master, Slow Blind Driveway.

Another name associated with this text had an article which survived for a few days short of five years, but had very few edits and was probably rarely viewed. This text survived over 1000 revisions before it was discovered. "Extensive studies" would not correspond to obscure research. Ayla ( talk) 19:19, 4 February 2008 (UTC) Reply Oh, I'm quite sure it was a hoax, or probably more accurately described, a college prank. But if you add it to the list (as the longest-running hoax, at that), maybe we could get someone offering more insight on the matter. My reservation is that it might have been some obscure research, rather than a hoax the main argument against that seems to be that Boston-based John Garabedian is a "radio personality and disc jockey" rather than a researcher. I did find one related untainted source, but it does not shed any light on the veracity of the claims made. It's hard to perform any googling on the subject since mirrors have propagated the (mis)information to the rest of the web. Is that worth listing here?

Ayla ( talk) 11:17, 3 February 2008 (UTC) Reply Gimmetrow 00:30, 4 February 2008 (UTC) Reply That sure did escape detection for a long time. This is not some obscure page, either it routinely gets more than 5k hits per day. Although the page grew considerably over the years, when the misinformation was originally added, it made up half the text.
