Jochen Kurich (aka Jochen Couric)

Many people appear to be growing an interest in determining who Jochen Kurich (or Jochen Couric as some spell the name) is. This interest arises from the measurement of Kurichs used by the European Fecal Standards and Measurement. A Kurich is 2.578 pounds, or 1.169 kilogram. Some alternative spellings of this unit of measurement have been Kurics and Couric (as in Katie Couric).

For those whom had done background checks, the most plausible findings so far are:

• Jochen Kurich is a fictious person
• Kurichs/Kurics/Courics is a fictious unit of fecal measurement
• No Wikipedia entry exists for Jochen Kurich
• No Wikipedia entry exists for Kurichs as a unit of measurement
• Supposed record of 2.6346 Kurichs will translate into 3.08 kg
• Googling for Jochen Kurich turns up nothing

European Fecal Standards and Measurement is a fake organisation and Jochen Kurich is a fake person. Looking for more information on both only helps to confirm the hoax. Your quest should stop here.
