Archeological Find Or Old Garbage


A 140 year old hot dog has been found on Coney Island. The find was made under Feltman's Kitchen, a famous restaurant on the boardwalk that was once owned by the inventor of the Coney Island hot dog. The dog and a receipt were discovered frozen in a chunk of ice. There are plans to display both on Coney Island starting March 28th. If the above picture isn't enough for you, there is a video at the link. The clip includes interviews with incredulous passers-by.

:( Apparently it's a hoax. CNN removed the video.

Yeah, really. A receipt from 1870 for a hotdog?

Sounds like something they would display at one of those Ripley's Believe It or Not museums.
