This came from (probably verbatim):

     Appendix B: "Creators Admit C, Unix Were Hoax..."
     The UNIX-HATERS Handbook
     By Simson Garfinkel, Daniel Weise & Steven Strassmann
     Pp. 307-308, Copyright 1994 by IDG Books Worldwide.

The ultimate origin may have to be found from the publisher, as
much of the book is "woven around the threads in the UNIX-HATERS
mailing list", Preface, p. xxii.

BTW, the book is a hoot.  It was mentioned here some years back.
