    Electric Train Project to Spare Ancient Shrine

     

    The Transport Ministry has assured that a new electric railway extension project will spare a 237-year-old shrine of a Buddhist temple.

    How can a 237-year-old shrine be considered ancient?

    Old or antique, but not 'ancient' - that word would indicate to me an earlier period of time - at least a thousand years ago.

    Reminds me of Rev W.A. Spooner (coined the word 'spoonerism' due to his own genuine speech impediment):

    You must leave by the town drain (should have been 'down train').

     

    Another one: You have hissed all my mystery lectures (missed all my history lectures).
