Neil Armstrong, the American astronaut who made "one giant leap for mankind" when he became the first man to walk on the moon, died Saturday. He was 82.http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/25/us/neil-armstrong-obit/

A true American hero passed away. RIP.

I'm confused. Didn't he die a few months ago? August, I think?

TLAM got there first. Now I know how Buzz felt.

Brilliant! :rotfl2: :rock:

[August]

If you look at the articles comments section you'll see that most of them are also 4 months old. Apparently CNN just put today's date on an article they published back in August.

Edit: we really need a shoulder shrug smiley....

CNN is recycling news articles!?

Really guys, this isn't hard to explain. If you look to the bottom of the article, you see a link to a compilation entitled Obituaries 2012: The Lives They Lived, which appears to be a standard end year compilation of those we lost. This article has been linked as part of that compilation.

Click on Neil Armstrong and you'll be taken to the page linked in post No. 1.

Maybe he rose again as a zombie and has finally been put down?

The BBC do a similar thing, they'll edit a piece for some miniscule information or a typo and republish it adding 'edited on ####'. You flick through the latest articles and there it appears. :/\\!!

The link suggests it is indeed an article from 25th of August, as do the 4 months old comments. They probably pollished up the article for end-of-year reviews. Somehow this update changed the datestamp at the top of the page. It should have reveived an additional update timestamp.

Nevertheless, for ever remembered:
