I'm a bit surprised at BBspot for this, actually
The whole "Linux successfully installed on [humorous inanimate object]" has been done at least twice before
Back in 2000, IBM showed off a wrist-watch running Linux

this spawned a whole heap of spoof articles
It happened again in 2004 - I can't remember what set it off (may have been that linux running petrol pump? - can't remember)
but the spoof articles were rehashed in 2004
