About the printing date. Indeed,I misremembered. Our edition was printed in 1719 and rests in an newer binding. That binding has begun to deteriorate over the years, as you can see by clicking here for a photo of our edition of Pills

Again, the point of the story wasn't to attempt the great printing hoax of 1999, but to give some folks a chuckle concerning human communication.

Takes all kinds,I guess.
