Keith Richards set the internet abuzz the last couple of days after telling NME that he snorted some of his deceased father's ashes with a line of cocaine. The Rolling Stones guitarist was quoted as saying, "The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father. He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn't have cared. ... It went down pretty well, and I'm still alive."

Richards is reportedly confounded that people actually believed the story. His manager now tells MTV that the comments were made "in jest." Apparently, Richards doesn't realize that in the new millennium if something appears on the internet, then its true.
