ChiComms, re-apply their long time claim to 13th century British lands.
If Columbus could the claim "the new world", why can't China?
Think about it. :-P

Looks like he didn’t have a leg to stand on.
Probably an early Obama Care enrollee.

Mr Langford said a monastic community lived close to the area and the bones appeared to be from a man in his late 20s, in good health.Since the dude was in a grave, as an archeologist Mr. Langford may be in over his head.

I’m thinking the monk wasn’t bad at dancing because he certainly didn’t have two left feet. I’ll be here all week!
