I am unaware of that site.

You may check

where there's an example of a similar argument

There's an outstanding book by E.J.Barbeau "Mathematical Fallacies, Flaws, and Flimflam" available at the MAA's bookstore (http://www.maa.org.), where you can find hundreds of much less obvious flawed arguments. Quite indispensable for a math major.

All the best,
