This story made page 3 of this morning's 'Raleigh News & Observer'.
It was about two inches of copy.

Page 1 was all about another aspiring monarch in a white tie having tea with the queen. I didn't read that one.

Anyone who builds a great wall that is still up and functioning two thousand years later desrves a bit of respect in my book.

Sheesh, Deej...that subject line is just awful! Have you been taking lessons from Slood or something?

I am proud of my occasional flashes of brilliance. They are oh so rare.

Hey, don't blame me for djm's bad puns. I have enough trouble living down my own. Besides, the pun in the thread title is herodly noticeable.

I thought that one about Rod Surly was brilliant-- and that was only 4 days ago!

I'd be delighted if I could be brilliant every four days

I agree with you, but maybe the reason is that you are so dangerously under-medicated. Where is the old-fashioned Coca-cola when you really need it?

Well, all joking aside, I thought it was really cool that they were on to Herod's slab. I thought others here might be interested too. He was pretty accomplished for someone who is generally made out today as just a bumboy for the Romans.

I'm not sure what page a story appears on in the local newspaper has to do with the interest value in a story.
