Archaeological Uncovers a New Name

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the stories-come-from-somewhere dept.

* * Beatles-Beatles writes to tell us Reuters is reporting that scientists have found a shard of pottery in an archaeological dig that appears to have the Philistine renderings of the name Goliath. While the obvious leaps of faith have been made it is still an interesting find as it is the first time the name Goliath has been found in that particular locale.

      Archaeological was his name. His parents Paleological and Astronomical and they thought it would be fitting when choosing his name as a baby.

      However, as you can tell, Arechaeological had been looking for years for a replacement name and figured Golaith was good as any.

    I once saw a notice posted in an Anthro Dept at a major university:

    Diggers needed for Archeological Site...

    Somone had scrawled "We are Digroes Not Diggers" on it.

    Below that, someone else had written "No, we are Anthro-Americans."
