It's rather time-disorienting that the URL (and you) say 2006, but the
dateline in the web-article itself says 2007, AND there's a picture of
Sir Edmund Hillary with "1919-2008" underneath.  It kind of feels like
those recently updated "Cosmos" episodes, where we see Hubble and
shuttle pictures that didn't EXIST when Carl Sagan first made the
series (or was alive, for that matter).  Are our historical archives
all to be INFECTED BY THE FUTURE? ;-)
