What the heck? A paperboy tosses a newspaper in a bog, and archeologists get all excited. If they want, I'll loan them mine; it's cleaner:
Irish archaeologists Tuesday heralded the discovery of an ancient book of psalms by a construction worker who spotted something while driving the shovel of his backhoe into a bog.Posted by floridacracker at July 25, 2006 07:12 PMThe approximately 20-page book has been dated to the years 800-1000. Trinity College manuscripts expert Bernard Meehan said it was the first discovery of an Irish early medieval document in two centuries.
...
The book was found open to a page describing, in Latin script, Psalm 83, in which God hears complaints of other nations' attempts to wipe out the name of Israel.
I don't know about you, but I'd say it would be about time to invest in a lightning rod! :)
