Angle of the dangle? 12 week gender?

Amanda
I had my 12 week nt ultrasound today and everything went great! Then the technician asked if I wanted to know the gender (which I was shocked by because I have never been told this early!) he said all babies have a protrusion at this age but you can tell by the angle if it is a girl or a boy (pointing downward or flat is girl and pointing upward more than 30 degrees is boy) and said he is 85% sure we are having a boy. 
Has anyone else ever heard of this or had a gender ultrasound at 12 weeks and had it be correct? I am excited but afraid to get too excited. Here is the pic he gave us of it. Thanks!
