Prior to being sent to its final destination at El Cairo's museum, anthropologists and archaeologists debate whether or not ancient Egiptians knew Aunt Jemima's pancakes.

Thanks for the GAs!

For those like me who enjoy the bluegrass nuttiness of The Cleverlys, be sure to watch their rendition of The Black-Eyed Peas, 'I Gotta Feeling' (which doesn't have that irritating Auto-Tune effect that BEP uses):

"This performance art gig sucks.

I've been standing still in this da#m hot sun in this same spot since 8 this morning and haven't had a lunch or pee break yet.

Pleeease. Somebody just throw some money in the can - I think I can still make "Burning Man" before I have to clean and return these threads to the rental shop"

At a discount antiquities show,
Just a pound buys a relic, you know.
Tut weighs almost a ton,
And costs more, 'cause it's one
For the mummy and two for the tow.

With apologies to Chris Doyle (Chris Doyle)

Got carried away, paid half price

Have no money left, must beg,

Looking rich but in reality am dirt poor.

Us Greeks are being told "We gotta do our bit for austerity." So I'm here trying to get some foreign exchange from the tourists.

Trouble seems to be they are all from Portugal here looking for ideas how to get themselves out of the @#$% and don't have any money to spare!!!

I think that I'll go home and figure out how to use this costume as a tax deduction so I don't have to pay any (taxes).
