Best. Archaeological. Find. Ever.

May 07, 2006 13:20

This article, short as it is, TOTALLY deserves its own entry on my journal. OMG. I would kill to have been able to put this project on my C.V. *sobs*

Under the Bandages, King Tut Is All Man

That's right, people. At long last, thanks to modern technology, King Tut's dick has been found.

first of all, let me apologise for the delay and wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! secondly, this article gave a total new meaning to "come up and see my collection of ancient artifacts". Totally beats "chinese prints";)

Hey, thanks for the birthday wishes. I had a good day. I hope you're doing fine -- haven't heard from you lately.

Wow.

I don't even know what to think about that.

Ah, the wonders of modern technology.

Really, technology is an amazing thing, yes. I know I have at least one ex that I'd've liked to confirm wasn't a dickless wonder if I'd had the resources while we were dating.

I have not read the article. I'm skimming my friends list in between doing the fifty things on my to-do list.

But *that* is a beautiful thing.

Few finds in archaeology have ever made me more glowy, yes.

And how cool must it have been to fill out the request for the funds to do this particular bit of research? *sigh* Lucky bastards.

And now I have George Costanza's voice shouting in my ear, "Shrinkage!" ;)

You quite literally made me choke when I read your comment. AWESOME. *cries laughing some more* You're a dark, dark person. *cuddles you*

Gorgeous icon, btw. DH has such beautiful eyes.

LOL! I love this - it certainly puts the kabosh on the image of the shy, virginal and ignorant archaeologist. Now we know what they do with their time - look for dem missin' parts. Parts, parts, whose got the part(s).

Whoooop! I must delicately point out this anecdote if you missed it. I am afraid after that night, perhaps only "ignorant" is the word that may still apply for them what's in my profession. *g*

You know what's awesome? Someone probably totally got their thesis out of this project. How cool is that? If I got to help find King Tut's dick, I'd totally bring it up in every possible conversation that I could. I'd have a t-shirt made and possibly a special documentary, too. I'd bring pictures to every family gathering I could -- EVEN IF THEY WEREN'T MY FAMILY.

Getting a tattoo that heralds this triumph almost goes without saying.

Oh, and YAY for you getting a new bathroom. YAY!
