4,000-Year-Old Noodle Dish

Italians are known for them and theories suggest they may have originated in the Middle East but scientists said Wednesday the world's oldest known noodles, dating back 4,000 years, were made in China.

I could have told the world that for free, as could all of my Chinese friends. History books there say that Marco Polo brought back noodles from his journey to China. In other words, although modern Italians might like it, Romans didn't eat or have spaghetti. Any Chinese school kid knows that. Duh!

Above is a photograph of the noodle findings. I must admit that they look more like dead tape worms. I think we deserve a second opinion on this finding.
