60 Minutes recently reported a similar story of a dying kid wanting to get
in Guiness by collecting postcards.  I don't remember the details, but the
story sound so similar that it is likely they are the same story.  60
Minutes pointed out that 

	THE STORY IS A HOAX!!!!

There was no such child and local postal authorities were trying to get the
word out, because the flood of post-cards was severely hampering their
ability to handle other mail.
