hehe, that key might be older than some of the people on this list ;)

try importing with this:
 	gpg --import --allow-non-selfsigned-uid

from the man page:
        --allow-non-selfsigned-uid
        --no-allow-non-selfsigned-uid
 		Allow the import and use of keys with user IDs which are
 		not self-signed.  This is not recommended, as a non
 		self-signed user ID is trivial to forge.
 		--no-allow-non-selfsigned-uid disables.

hope that works and make sense.

btw, that's a 512 bit key. keys that size have been ~publicly~ cracked.
