Was the original quran not the same as the quran today

I had never heard this particular story but you may find this of some interest.

Some of the parchment pages in the Yemeni hoard seemed to date back to the seventh and eighth centuries A.D., or Islam's first two centuries—they were fragments, in other words, of perhaps the oldest Korans in existence. What's more, some of these fragments revealed small but intriguing aberrations from the standard Koranic text. Such aberrations, though not surprising to textual historians, are troublingly at odds with the orthodox Muslim belief that the Koran as it has reached us today is quite simply the perfect, timeless, and unchanging Word of God.

What is most amusing about the Sana find is that what they uncovered mimics a jewish talmudic tradition in which religious papers could not be discarded but had to be buried. Wouldn't that fry their asses today!
