Four Millennia Old Noodles Found In China

Posted by Zonk on from the i'll-have-some-takout dept.

mollten writes "According to BBC News, the world's oldest noodles have been found at the Lajia site in China. Carbon Dating has found the remains to be over 4000 years old." From the article: "Prior to the discovery of noodles at Lajia, the earliest written record of noodles is traced to a book written during the East Han Dynasty sometime between AD 25 and 220, although it remained a subject of debate whether the Chinese, the Italians, or the Arabs invented it first ... Our discovery indicates that noodles were first produced in China."

    Have you noticed?

    about 90% of all posts in this thread are either funny or trying to be. :( Man, why is this story even on slashdot? Just to give everyone the chance to prove the existence of the Flying Spaguetti Monster and get a +5 funny? I counted at least 7 FSM jokes, and not a single one of them was modded "redundant".

    Oh, wait. It's FRIDAY. Nevermind.
