Body of WWII Airman Found Frozen In Glacier
No, his name isn't Steve Rogers, although lord knows we could have done with some of that kind of luck.
Thanks again to Christopher.
It's Old: Not just the body, but yes, the story is six days old.
Who's Steve Rogers? Update: Sigh. Philistines!
See, Captain America was a 1940's era hero. He was acquired by Marvel Comics. They had to explain how a WWII veteran was still in that vaguely thirtyish age category that almost all heroes are in, so they said he got frozen in a block of ice at the end of WWII and only got unfrozen in the sixties, when he was reintroduced as a Marvel character.
Of course, they still haven't explained why he hasn't aged a day since 1962, either.
Thanks to David for the link to the pic.
