Turner/Phelps caught in a lie

The editors at T-P would like to apologize for the 7/14/08 post that inaccurately stated that Phelps was born on July 14th.

The truth of the matter is that Phelps was born on July 15, and doesn't like to be reminded that he shares a birthday with Jan Michael-Vincent.

Worse than that, being an atheist, Phelps dislikes the fact that his birthday falls on Saint Swithun's Day and is usually followed by 40 days and 40 nights of rain. At least in Winchester.

He apologized with contrition for the remarks he made in the blog and out of the blog.

(He thought the microphone was off.)
