    Odd news story this week. Probably in the last place anyone would
    expect, a fossilized animal footprint about the size of a human
    hand was found on Prince Edward Island, Canada and thrown the
    Paleontologists into tizzy because it's been dated at 290 million
    years old, about 60 million years older than any life that size was
    thought to exist to date.

    Shows there's always room for surprises and to learn new things.. B)

    I'm not convinced that methods to date things like that is
    completely accurate or reliable.

    It could also be that we know so much that isn't so. We think we know
    all of the things then something comes along and remind us that we know
    so little.
