Can someone explain why MSA has a P/E of 7.98 from fool.com and 22.39 from Yahoo.com?

Greetings Talbot,

http://quotes.fool.com/custom/fool/html-snapshot.asp?currticker=msa&symbols=msa shows a P/E of 22.11 for MSA from quotes.fool.com while http://quotes.fool.com/custom/fool/html-detailedquote.asp?currticker=msa&symbols=msa does show that 7.98 which is certainly wrong as that would assume almost an EPS of about $4 given the current price of $32.49.

My guess is a bad data feed.

Regards,
JB
