No, it isn't! It is, however, one of the most commonly unattributed bits of
humor on the internet.
"They're Made Out of Meat" was written by Terry Bisson. It can be found
in "Bears Discover Fire and Other Stories" (c) 1994 Tor Books, and
originally appeared in OMNI Magazine in April 1991. It was nominated for a
1991 Nebula award.
Terry Bisson himself says (at http://www.sff.net/people/tbisson/meat.html)
>(From OMNI, April 1991. This story, which was a 1991 Nebula nominee, has
been appearing around the internet lately without my name attached. Several
people were kind enough to alert me, but the truth is I'm more flattered
than offended.)
