Ancient Manuscript Found
Posted by Lanea on Wednesday, July 26th, 2006
Wooooot! A peat-cutter found a 1200 year old manuscript of psalms in an Irish peat bog. And he did the right thing–he immediately covered the book back up, so it wouldn’t dry out, and he got in touch with the National Museum staff. Atta boy. If I knew his name, I’d make him cookies. And maybe even a sweater. It’s the most important linguistic archaeological find in Ireland in about 200 years.
Mr Peatcutter, sir, I owe you a pint. And some cookies. And a sweater.
