I opened a packet of prunes today. It was labelled "Ready to Eat" in big bold lettering. Ready to eat?? Do they also sell inedible prunes at the supermarket? Was it just blind luck I happened to select the edible ones?? Yawn..

What would I make of this story? "This story is the work of Satan! GOD created the world 6-10 thousand years ago. These devil worshipping scientists are all out to fool you in the name of Satan. It is a conspiracy, just like Ben Stein so cleverly and honestly states in his film 'Expelled - No intelligence allowed'. For this to be accurate and true, the occupants would have witnessed creation as it happened, and that would be ridiculous, wouldn't it. Haha. PROOF that GOD does exist. You will all burn in hell and I will watch your pain at the side of Jesus in Heaven." Just imagine if I were one of those creationistas. What would I make of this story?

Wouldn't a house dating from 8500BC be 10,500 years old not 11,500 years old? Or does the headline mean it was last used in 8500BC but was built in 9500BC? Something weird about that number….
