well, I'm glad! I remember reading a couple of years ago (and I can't for the life of me remember where), that Tut might not even be a Tut but a Tuttine! Probably written by some Steinemesque revisionist...

See, what I don't understand ) as Columbo used to say ) is why are they all mummies? I mean, some of 'em musta bin daddies, otherwise there wouldn't be so many of 'em would there.
There was a theory that Tut died of eating fish ; 'cos for some totally incompehensible reason pharoahs were denied the delights of fish an' chips. Can ya believe it?
If these eggheads were to get a suit ( preferably Armani ) and go out an' get a proper job, we wouldn't have to rack our brains like this, would we?
Next thing, they'll be tellin' us that it's gettin' hotter.
Did you know that the 'mummy' is the Babylonian word for bitumen? ( 'cos bitumen was used in mummification ; don't know about daddification, tho' )
So, just think, next time you go for a spin, you're driving over mummies.
So many mummies ; so little time!

Tut's Todger, sounds like the Artful Dodger's brother! I'm into Egyptology
a little but my daughter (11 year old) used to be a bit of a fanatic, however I think she can survive without knowing this piece of information.

El Tel, mummies don't have todgers. Didn't they teach you the birds n bees?
I saw a programme speculating about Tut's death a while back. My memory's unreliable, but I think he they concluded he fell from his chariot. Other theories include that he was muredered with a blow to the head. There was also a discovery of some old coins the other day which showed Cleopatra to be rather ugly - which she probably was. But coin engraving is a difficult art. Maybe she was a looker after all...

Tsk, tsk, Ariel... at the risk of being unladylike
I feel compelled to share an urban legend. There has been a rumor going around, whispered and very discreet, that some undertakers collect specimens. Some unidentified source reports they were taken on a tour of the premises, where they saw formeldahyde jars on a shelf in the back room. Their contents were (gasp) "matrimonial muscles." Out of the ordinary specimens, which it is presumed, the departed no longer needed.
