from the comments of an article about newly discovered Egyptian mummies

We know enough about the ancient Egyptians already, so why keep on digging them up?

    There isn’t possibly another thing we could learn.

    nope [dusts hands] all locked up.

    Other things we know enough about already:

    1. physics
    2. evolution
    3. mortgage backed securities
    4. space
    5. math
    6. the effects of oil on marine wildlife

    I think we know too dang much about the ancient Egyptians. Let’s drag some of that stuff we dug up out to the dump so we can forget what we knew.

    Maybe if we dig up enough of them we can use them to plug a hole on the floor of the Gulf.

    It could work.

    When the Chicago River sprung a leak in 1992, first responders commenced heaving mattresses into the river.

    Yes, Kathy! It could work!

    In fact, I blame ancient Egyptians for the BP oil spill. If we’d been able to learn more about off-shore drilling from them we wouldn’t be in this mess.

    Ancient danged Egyptians wasn’t keeping their eyes on the danged Persian Gulf. No wonder they went extinct.

  9. Sheila Ryan on May 24th, 2010 at 1:27 pm

    I’m going to start blaming ancient Egyptians for everything.

    Fucking Egyptians.

  11. Kathy Hilen-Smith on May 24th, 2010 at 1:43 pm

    We seem to know lots about off-shore drilling. It’s off-shore plugging where we’re coming up short. May those genius athletes could help?

  12. Michael Smith on May 24th, 2010 at 1:45 pm

    They’d almost definitely plug the leak.

  13. Kathy Hilen-Smith on May 24th, 2010 at 1:58 pm

    Some of those football players are really beefy. Some have big hair too.

  14. Sheila Ryan on May 24th, 2010 at 2:24 pm

    “Fucking Egyptians.”

    Fuck like an Ee-jip-shun.

  15. Michael Smith on May 24th, 2010 at 2:38 pm

    Yet another way to plug off-shore.

    I admit I’d kind of like to see whether they ever find Cleopatra.

  17. Sheila Ryan on May 24th, 2010 at 9:00 pm

    I’d love to get some make-up tips from Cleopatra.

  18. Cece on May 24th, 2010 at 9:13 pm

    Well, if they find that mummy…
