Uh...where does it say it's a hoax?

Snopes includes the article on a page listing recent news articles and web
sites that may be of interest to its readers, but near the top of the page
it says, "Stories are chosen for inclusion here purely on the basis of their
appeal to our readers; we make no claims about the reliability of
information linked from this page."

CNN.com even has a link to the article from its home page:
http://www.cbs46.com/news/14078071/detail.html. Doesn't look like a hoax to
me.
