Readers will recall that we attributed the factoid in question to our "geographer-in-residence." A subsequent investigation has determined that the gentleman wandered into stately Since-You-Asked World Headquarters off the street and was hitting up our fact-checkers for spare change when he vouchsafed the bogus bit about the Arnold Ice Cave. When he showed up later with a triple chocolate mocha with whipped cream raving that Mount Nebo in Douglas County was named by the biblical Moses, he was unceremoniously escorted from the building. His mistake was flaunting a drink obviously beyond the means of our checkers. Send questions to "Since You Asked," Mail Tribune Newsroom, P.O.
