Disgraced Anthropologist Drinks 40,000-Year-Old Milk by Scott Ott
(2005-02-19) -- A disgraced German anthropology professor, who pretended to use carbon dating to establish a link between Neanderthals and modern man, told reporters today that he regularly drinks 40,000-year-old milk and drives a Porsche Carrera made in 736 BC.
Frankfurt Professor Reiner Protsch von Zieten resigned this week from a 30-year career as one of the world's leading anthropologists, when a panel concluded his carbon dating of human bones was incorrect by thousands of years.
The inquiry found that one skull, which Mr. Protsch claimed came from a 27,400-year-old human fossil, was actually still attached to the living body of a departmental colleague.
"He's much older than he looks," said Mr. Protsch. "My data shows that he may be the missing link between Piltdown man and today's homo sapiens."
A spokesman for the Anthropology Professionals Exploration Society said, "the disclosure that one of our most-trusted anthropologists was a total fraud, and his carbon dating a cheap trick, does nothing to diminish the credibility of the profession or the scientific consensus that modern man descended, through mutation, from apes."
Here is a clue: How many times have they dated the Shroud of Turin and got a different date every time?
... and no running with scissors, either

Missing link? :)
Hmm... and of course the farther you go back, the errors increase exponentially.
Apparently when they were coming up with the technique they threw out the equilibrium factor which says the earth can't be more than 30,000 years old (at which point equilibrium is reached) - because they KNEW it was older than that.
Not surprising.
"I see no evidence against evolution here!"
They tie themselves in knots and still produce a missing link. :):)
