Discover April Fool stories

[Julie Anderson <janderson@KENT.WEDNET.EDU>]

I haven't seen any conjecture on this year's story, so I'll take a guess.
I think it's the mummified crocodiles containing papyri of works by Homer,
Virgil, Euripides, and Sophocles.

And a question about Discover's practice of April Fools Stories -- do they
ever own up in print to them being false?  I have searched through the May
1996 issue and I can't find anything.  One of my colleagues is appalled
that a respected magazine would do this without printing a retraction.

TIA,
Julie
