Cleopatra's tomb found. Maybe.

[spqrblues]

If it wasn't Zahi Hawass touting it for the past year, I'd be a lot more excited about the news now flooding the airwaves about the possibility archaeologists have found Antonius & Cleopatra's tomb. We'll see. I'm nervous about Hawass getting his hands on the real site. I suppose we'll be seeing a crazy documentary with Hawass manhandling mummies soon, and an exhibition with a high admission price. Well, whatever it takes to keep the museums running.

Wish #1: That I could make that documentary. Hey, it'd still be an amazingly cool project.

Wish #2: That the news outlets would stop arguing about whether Cleopatra was pretty or not. Of course, that's the only measure of a woman's worth and the only reason why two of the most powerful men in the world of her day found her a worthy partner. Hawass, stop talking about the size of her nose.

Wish #3: I wish I'd become an archaeologist. I squandered my chances, so too late for me now. I'll waddle off to my day job, scribble some webcomics, and whine annoyingly about it.

Me, I think he thinks he's Indy. Or Brendan Fraser. Or, wants us to think he's dashing, cool, and swinging from ropes into dark pits full of animated mummies.

Oh well, I wear a lot of hats, too, and sometimes think I'm Indy, but only Raiders Indy.

Well, true - it's clear he wants to project an Image, whatever that image may be *G* I agree with you on Raiders; that's about the only film in that series I think is super-cool.

Im ust confess I've got a weak spot for Sean Connery in "Last Crusade"
- Genius of the res-to-ration.
- Aid our own re-sus-ci-tation.

Is that why he talks like everyone but him is a blithering moron?
