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.
