Crazy wikipedia info-- eats turtles?

I was randomly looking up stuff on wikipedia and I came across Luke Perry's page. I'm assuming the following info from his wikipedia entry MUST be a joke, but it struck me as pretty bizarre and a little funny....?

"In August 2007, Perry admitted to having an addiction to the meat of the endangered green sea turtle, and that at the height of his career he sometimes consumed two or three turtles a day - each having cost him an estimated $20,000. Said Perry, "I really didn't care how much they cost. I just had to have that sweet, delicious turtle meat every minute of every day." "

from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luke_Perry

Has anyone else ever seen that on his wikipedia page? I'm just imagining someone sneakily editing the page with that odd info and snickering, wondering if someone would ever find it....
Or- was he a turtle eater and I'm just oblivious? :P

And now you know why Wikipedia is a terrible reference to list when you are backing up your point of view and trying to provide proof of something.

Wikipedia is the LAST place you would go to learn the truth about anything.

What you call discovery, I call the rape of the natural world.

That's not pointed at me, right? Because I was just pointing out something funny that I saw on there, not trying to prove a point. But yeah, they have lots of false info quite often, although I've generally found that they have tons and tons of valid info too.

I've read countless articles on wikipedia over the years and it's extremely rare that their facts are wrong. The quality of the writing, grammar and punctuation isn't that good though.
