There is in the upper midwest (I think Minnesota, but I'm not certain) a
runestone- a runestone that was marvelled over by 'experts' and was thought
to be 'evidence' that Scandahoovians (Leif Erickson types) had once settled
there. And then a bunch of Scan Studies graduate student came forward and
revealed that it was a hoax- that they had made it on a lark.
And there are still 'experts' who believe that it is genuine, and they are
still arguing about the meaning of the text on the damn rock.
