I can't find a single source to corroborate this tradition being a real thing. Details like 'once every 734.5 days' further make me suspect this is a hoax article. Sam Walton (talk) 09:36, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment This lasted 12 years, 6 months, and 6 days (Created 22:08, 23 February 2007), which would make this the longest-lasting article to be G3'd. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 12:34, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
