And even The Times is at it today..

"Mr Roberts died with his wife by his side in October 2008"...

And then on the same page...

"Nicholas Newman, of Somewhere, have lived in May 2005, living in six diferrent houses and two hotels".???? It makes no sense

I ask you.

The real pang of this is that Archimedes was SO COOL, such a great great fantastic person for the human race to have produced. So it is piling on the insults for his name to be so taken in vain. He wouldn't have made the mistake about someone else.

Do you know why he died? Because a Roman soldier grunt decided Arch. had "disrespected" him.
