3,000 years ago was back when man was discovering what was and what was not lethal to eat.

So how do they know the guy wasn't already dead and thrown in the water?

“This was no boating accident!”


How do we know? I mean he could have been engaged in ‘losing his firearms before the local daimyo showed up — or maybe it was a katana?

My favorite line from the article: "Although the encounter seems violent, the researchers believe that the man would have died quite quickly."

Sure, he died a horrible, violent death, but it was a quick horrible, violent death, and that's something we can all take comfort in knowing.

Thanks for the ping.

I am glad I didn't have to read in the article about mistaken identity, or other statistics. -Tom
