With my computer's homepage being http://www.yahoo.com/, I often see all kinds of headlines for the day. And really, all kinds of headlines. Subprime, Elections '08, NASA probes, Al Gore, Guiness World Records, NASCAR, etcetc. But this one headline caught my eye.

Beatles predate dinosaurs by 70 million years, study finds

By golly, I thought. Finally, cold-hard proof that for of all the musical brilliance of the Fab Four, they're just a bunch of old fossils. Which would make my Dad, a fan of theirs in his teens, only slightly younger than the fossils. (Still older than the dinosaurs though).

But on clicking on the link, I found (to my dismay), that I had read it wrongly. Beetles, not Beatles. Hai.
