Is 1818 really that old for a Bible?

http://articles.news.aol.com/news/_a/man-finds-188-year-old-bible-in-garbage/20060728114909990006?ncid=NWS00010000000001

There is an AOL front page story (yeah, I know, AOL) about some guy who found an 188 year old Bible in the trash. "Now he's fending off offers approaching $1,000 for the find" and he thinks that's not enough.

I guess it is a slow news day because the story reads like he found the Dead Sea Scrolls. Hell, I have a Bible printed in 1828. Anybody want to give me $1000 for it?

2. Yes, it's old. If it was printed in 1818,

that means it was made only 4,818 years after God created the Universe in only six short 24-hour days. And only 4,000 years after Adam and Eve rode dinosaurs to church. :+
