Four Millennia Old Noodles Found In China
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."
how much eastern history is disrespected, compared to HIStory, and that includes european history(where americans learned to be assholes). Nothing new.
News for Whiners!!
Ah yes, the whole spaghetti monster thing. How sophomoric. Because, you know, that's how science and ideas progress; by poisoning our own ideological wells and making religious people look like idiots. While it was funny for a short while, the whole idea of the Spaghetti monster will hurt science in the long term.
Do continue though. You are proving Neil Postman right when he said our future freedoms and ideas will be destroyed by excessive entertainment.
Have you noticed?
:( 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".
about 90% of all posts in this thread are either funny or trying to be.
Oh, wait. It's FRIDAY. Nevermind.
