The E-Sylum:  Volume 8, Number 17, April 24, 2005, Article 18

HOW OLD AGAIN?

About last week's item regarding "9,000 year-old manuscripts",
chief nit-picker Tom DeLorey asks, "Sorry to nit pick again,
but shouldn't this be 3,000 years?"

[Well, that line was taken from the headline of the referenced
article in The Scotsman. Where they got it from, who knows.
It's not in the body of the article, which says the manuscripts
were believed to be "from the 3rd to the 7th centuries BC."
That's more like 3,000 years by my count as well.

Sorry for the slip-up. I wish I could say it was a typo, but
it's more like a brain-o on the part of the headline writers
and myself for letting it slip through. -Editor]
