We all make mistakes, but Yahoo?!?:

Ancient Maya scarified boys not virgin girls: study

But nobody caught "scarified" when they meant "sacrificed?!" I had to search an online dictionary just to be certain. You can be scarified, but I don't think that's what those ancient Mayas were doing. And if they were being scarified, it was apparently for a very short duration. Gruesome article.

My mind is now sacred for life - I mean - "scarred" for life. (Maybe it is "sacred" and scarred - at least my knees are scarred. Whatever...)

It's really good to know that I'm not the only one with a spelling problem.

OK, I am with you bother, I am feeling violated and a little dirty.

Take care!

Art - If Yahoo can make a mistake like that, I don't feel so bad with my mistakes.

The next time I go to Chitzen Niza I am going to look at things a little differently.

Art,

...well, it may pointless to point out the Mayans were confused across millenia, but did they invent hockey?
