I have a book called "The Giant Bathroom Reader" and in it there is a small snippet which states.
<i>Snoopy, the philosophical beagle from the Charlie Brown comic strip, may have assumed a more historical, perhaps even religious significance. Professor Filippo Magi, director of the Vatican's Archaeological Study and Research, reports a strange find at a dig beneath one of Rome's most historic churches: the papal Basilica of St. Mary Major. Under the church are the remains of a huge, first-century AD forum, or market, and among the crowded Roman graffiti on its walls is a perfect image of Snoopy the beagle. Some Rome newspapers are reported to be showing a picture of the famous dog lying on the roof of his kennel thinking: "Suspirium! Acetate progredi, heu!" (Sigh! The years roll on, alas!).</i>
Now, I do not claim to know how much credit that an Uncle John's Bathroom Reader has, but I have looked this up on Google, and everwhere and I can't seem to find anything on this subject.
I find it pretty darn cool if it's true, and I was wondering if anyone else had ever heard of this?
