So, I wouldn't put it past him for it to be a hoax, and if it is in fact real, the mischievousness of FIRST by sending it to someone known for a hoax is awesome.... perhaps Dave's doing?

It's been brought up. Page two or three, if I remember correctly. There are, however, ways to verify (e.g., talk to one of the other Rosses.) The connection has also already been brought up. The fact that others have gotten this as well seems to indicate that it is not a hoax.
