Sometimes it’s just too easy … I’m sitting here idly catching up on emails etc. (we’re in the midst of report cards) and enjoying @SaveRome’s photos of snowfall in the forum (via Twitter/Instagram), when suddenly I’m confronted with the Daily Mail‘s headline on the snowfall:

• Colosseum closes and drivers abandon cars as snow falls on Rome for the first time in 26 YEARS

… er, let’s look back a couple of years (almost to the day) when we had some nice photos of snow falling on the Colosseum:

• Snow Closes Sites in Rome

… which later was supplemented with Max Nelson’s (UWindsor) photos of snow falling through the oculus in the Pantheon (remember: these photos are a couple of years old …):

• Snow in Rome Redux

The Sun and Daily Mail should probably get together and have a review of how calendars and other assorted methods of reckoning time works …

Don’t like to start the day with a bit of pedantry, but when the Sun engages in pot-calling-the-kettle-blackery, I simply can’t resist … the incipit of a piece therein:

A QUARTER of clueless Brit holidaymakers claim to have visited historic Wonders of the World … which don’t even exist.

Top porkies include sightseeing at the Colossus of Rhodes, which was destroyed in 226 BC, and the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, ordered to be destroyed by Roman Emperor Caligula in the Fifth Century.

• via Brits’ seven blunders of the world (Sun)

… I guess for rags like the Sun, Caligula will live on and on in their hearts forever … or maybe someone just read the Wikipedia article a bit too quickly …
