Some of you may well have seen this as I suspect it's been on humour newsgroups, but I thought it was dead funny and feel it should be shared. The story behind the letter below is that there is this nutball in Newport, RI named Scott Williams who digs things out of his backyard and sends the stuff he finds to the Smithsonian Institute, labeling them with scientific names, insisting that they are actual archaeological finds. This guy really exists and does this in his spare time!
