Pewsitter.com, a Drudge-style Catholic news hub, has recently posted a very silly article which they have hyperlinked as "Science proves Moses crossed Red Sea..."
The link takes you to an article in the Philipine Star (a world leader in peer-reviewed archaeology, indeed!). It describes alleged findings in the Red Sea by one Ron Wyatt, who also claimed to have discovered Noah's Ark and the Ark of the Covenant, the stone on which the Golden calf was destroyed, and a puddle of still liquified blood belonging to Jesus Christ. Quite an epic career.
He would have made a great pilgrim for Chaucer.
Now, maybe Pewsitter is just playing a holiday joke with us...but they put this highly spurious article in a bold faced hyperlink with nary a question mark nor a winking emoticon...which makes me think that either somebody at Pewsitter has gotten hoodwinked or I have totally lost my sense of humor.
