Sobriquet 26.6: Well, God was "Bog" in A Clockwork Orange
Australia's NineMSN reports the following:
Ireland's national museum has hailed what it said was one of the most significant discoveries in decades - and perhaps centuries - after an ancient prayer book was found by chance in an Irish bog.
The National Museum of Ireland said fragments of what appeared to be an ancient Psalter or Book of Psalms, written around AD 800, were uncovered by a bulldozer in a bog in the south Midlands.
"In discovery terms this Irish equivalent to the Dead Sea Scrolls is being hailed by the Museum's experts as the greatest find ever from a European bog," the museum said in a statement.
Evidentially, Everyman dropped something while wading through the Slough of Despond!
