Big Snake vs. VTEC

This is a e-mail I recieved earlier today. I normally wouldn't post a e-mail but, it does involve a Acura. Also, I'm not sure how legitimate the story is.

A guy in St. Louis was driving to work on Hwy 144 when he heard a

> He thought it sounded like a flat tire, though his ride wasn't
> affected.
> After pulling over, checking the tires and finding them intact he
opened
> the hood to look at the motor. Before the hood was even all the way
open
> he jumped back in shock and knocked his head on the partially opened
> hood, unable to believe what his eyes were seeing!
> Nobody was going to believe this! ...you sure wouldn't have either!
> Fortunately, a coworker with a camera recognized him along side the
road
> and stopped to see if he could help.
> Check out the attachment photos to witness for yourself the source of
> his amazement. Now, this has to be right up there at the top of the
list
> of unusual but verified 'Reasons I was late for work'!!!!
>
> How'd you like to find this under your hood?

Yep, went in for the heat. Once, when I lived in an apartment and parked outside, I started up the car and heard a helluva thumping and bumping under the hood. Shut it down, popped the hood, and discovered one less cat in the neighborhood.
