[asa] Biblical dates

There's plenty out there on assigning a chronology to the Bible, and
the average Christian bookstore has tomes on dating a prospective
spouse in a Biblical fashion, but the latest Science has yet another
kind of Biblical date. A date palm seed excavated from Masada and
carbon dated as being from the first century AD has sprouted. If they
can get it to bear fruit, think of the marketing potential. Just the
snack to go with Testa-mints or Maccabeans (yes, both of those are
actually marketed products; the latter are kosher jelly beans).
