Not Smarter Than A 5th Grader

5th Grader Finds Mistake A Smithsonian Science Museum:



ALLEGAN, Mich. — Is fifth-grader Kenton Stufflebeam smarter than the Smithsonian?

On a winter break trip with his family to the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History, the 11-year-old southwestern Michigan boy noticed that a notation, in bold lettering, mistakenly identified the Precambrian as an era.


No one noticed this error in more than 27 years at the Smithsonian.
