Robin Hood's House

(Sheffield, England) Apparently, researchers and archeologists have been going around Robin Hood's barn for so long they found his house.

From Ananova:

Archaeologists claim they have found the remains of Robin Hood's house - in Sheffield.

The outlaw is usually associated with Nottingham but researchers believe he came from the South Yorkshire village of Bolsterstone.

Experts from Sheffield University have started a preliminary dig at the site of an 11th century castle in the village.

I suspect there will be plenty of interest in this presumed find. By stealing from the rich to give to the poor, socialists, communists, and American Democrats ostensibly are the modern-day equivalent of Robin Hood and his ilk. Effectively, Robin Hood is their patron forefather.

Hopefully, before Robin Hood's house is designated as a world heritage site, everybody will reflect upon the fact that the myth of Robin Hood trumpets simple theft. Sure, he gave to the poor but it's undeniable that he was a thief before he was a charitable giver. In fact, it's not uncommon for criminals to give to the poor. Al Capone did it.
