Why Did Lance Armstrong Tweet Out The Cell Phone Number Of Some Random Canadian Dude?

We've all seen it by now: Lance Armstrong's odd tweet, containing what looks to be his cell phone number. We figured it was the same old, same old—a direct message, mistakenly broadcast to the world. Annoying, in that he'd probably need to change his number, but funny for the rest of us....
