Fine for date, length and tone. Thoroughly referenced. Hook supported by three on-line citations. Prefer this to either of the Alts as it focuses on an interesting/unusual fact. Certainly made me want to read the article. I do think that the lead is a bit too short: could do with at least another sentence.  Tigerboy1966  07:48, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
