Saw this yesterday. I must say it's pretty hilarious in a way.
You should see some of the others posted here

Though I must say I was quite surprised when I discovered that the plane actually came out of Minecraft... just make the whole story even more stupid than it already was.

Francois, the plane isn't from Minecraft...that was just a sarcastic comment added by one commenter after they'd blown the image up and it started to look blocky.

I did enjoy reading the page at the link you provided. The dinosaur and the Star Wars space craft are hilarious.

I don't know as I don't play Minecraft...
If you do a Google search with the proper tags, you'll see a lot more.
I remember seeing a beautiful composite of an swing fighter and the falcon flying through the tube, a fashion shoot, and a bunch of other things that are better than the original :)

Just check this search out, select the image search and have a blast
