Simon Registered: 04/24/06 Posts: 398 Loc: Tennessee	I heard my preacher say today that archealogists have found dates stored from one of King Herod's palace areas that are still edible (about 2,000 years old). Anyone heard of this and if it is known how the food was preserved? _________________________ Me, a vegetarian? My set of teeth came with canines.

Could you do me a favor and doublecheck the address? Dunno what's wrong _________________________ Me, a vegetarian? My set of teeth came with canines.
