Hi Walter & Alan, Yes, this is a joke...not a way to test batteries ;-))
I like ColtPiggerton's comment: "If you believe this, I have a salt lamp I'd like to sell you." And Karl Ream's comment: "Lightbulbs can be tested like that too. Drop them from 6 feet onto a concrete floor. If it shatters, it's no good. If it bounces, it's good."
