Coincidence?
Judge for yourself at http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mdrpepper.html. Anyway, the other thing I can’t figure out is why they supplied a link to a (now defunct) mirror site of the FAQ (and an old mirror site at that–version 2.02), and not a direct link to the HTML version of the FAQ itself–especially when there was information in the article which had to have come from the most recent version at the time (2.06). Oh well. At least now everyone will know where to go for the very latest info: right here of course. “Get a life,” indeed.
