How did I miss THAT?

Routinely Derailed
Three fascinating news items got my attention at Yahoo this morning when I got online. Makes me feel like I haven't been paying attention or something because two of the stories are not new.

- Scientists have run a CT scan on King Tut's mummy and have apparently found strong evidence that Tut was murdered.

- Tsunami waters uncovered the ruins of a 7th century port city in India, with walls boasting some intricate sculptures.

- Santa Fe New Mexico has apparently been built on top of an ancient Pueblo site. They discovered this while getting ready to build a new civic center on top of it - to replace the old one and a parking lot that are currently on top of it. Sounds like the city is going to go ahead and build their new civic center anyway.

For the full stories, you can go to Yahoo and click on the King Tut link in their "today's headlines" box, and when you get to that story, the other two will be in the "related stories" links.

I thought it was pretty common knowledge that scientists have assumed Tut's murder. :shrug: As for the other, I have no clue.

I guess I'd forgotten that. But still, it IS news that they're on the verge of confirming it.

I have always suspected foul play. Something just never felt right about it.

Have a good Friday!

As sung by Steve Martin:

King Tut (King Tut)
Now when he was a young man,
He never thought he'd see
People stand in line to see the boy king.

(King Tut) How'd you get so funky?
(funky Tut) Did you do the monkey?
Born in Arizona,
Moved to Babylonia (king Tut).

(king Tut) Now, if I'd known
they'd line up just to see him,
I'd trade in all my money
And bought me a museum. (king Tut)

Buried with a donkey (funky Tut)
He's my favorite honkey!
Born in Arizona,
Moved to Babylonia (king Tut)

Dancin' by the Nile, (Disco Tut)
The ladies love his style, (boss Tut)
Rockin' for a mile (rockin' Tut)
He ate a crocodile.

He gave his life for tourism.
Golden idol!
He's an Egyptian
They're sellin' you.

Now, when I die,
now don't think I'm a nut,
don't want no fancy funeral,
Just one like ole king Tut. (king Tut)

He coulda won a Grammy,
Buried in his Jammies,
Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia,
He was born in Arizona, got a condo made of stone-a,
King Tut! :getdown: :getdown:
