They obviously found the reamins of a neolithic college dorm.

Looks more like a bunch of dried earthworms.

"Prior to the discovery of noodles at Lajia, the earliest written record of noodles is traced to a book written during the East Han Dynasty sometime between AD 25 and 220, although it remained a subject of debate whether the Chinese, the Italians, or the Arabs invented it first.I had heard long ago, that Marco Polo was the person who brought the noodle to Italy after one of his trips to China.

Yeah, but how do they taste? What would be really cool is to cook them up and serve them with mammoth meat and the Tyrannosaurus jerky they found last year.

I had a friend in college who, when stoned, would sprinkle the uncooked ramen noodle block with the dry seasoning mix, then place it between two slices of white bread and eat it.

Yikes! Fortunately, I went to college in the B.R. (Before Ramen) era, or else I might have done something similar.

Maybe I'm a bit ignorant, but isn't "Italians" a bit too modern a term, anyway? Was there actually any Italy before the Dark Ages? Before the turn of the Roman Republic? I'm thinking if you're arguing thousands of years, there aren't any Italians to argue about and it's all moot!

Not even close to the oldest noodles. These guys need to come see my refrigerator.

"The 50cm-long, yellow strands were found in a pot that had probably been buried during a catastrophic flood. "
So, a million years from now some scientist will dig up petrified jambalaya?
