Buffaloed
Al Tompkins has an interesting note on his "Morning Meeting" column about a rash of emails (I haven't gotten one yet) saying the new buffalo nickel is being recalled. Something about too much detail, involving male anatomy. Al points to The Urban Legend Reference Pages at Snopes.com says it's just another myth, and shows you the images if you haven't looked closely at a new nickel yet. There are larger images here. Hmm. Too many people have too much spare time...or haven't spent enough time around farms. posted by liz at 10:22 AM
