Millions of tourists may have been kissing the wrong stone down in Blarney County Cork :)

Mark Samuel, an archaeologist and architectural historian claims the stone used today to give people the 'gift o the gab' has been used from only 1888 due to health and safety reasons.

Most people here know about this, but few Irish people bother with all the hype, anyway.

It says they "may have" kissed the wrong stone... I don't think it matters anyways...
