Sean Spicer wanted our reporters to do what they were told and look who he worked for.
I've always had enough self respect that I wouldn't grab a brass ring like that job for power or money. I had to mug church mice for lunch money because of that.
BoT, let's just wait and see what happens to all that treasure, both as real money's worth and as archeological artifacts.

Egypt needs major archaeological finds in order to revitalize the tourist industry. I doubt that this will fill the bill. They need something like Alexander's tomb or Nefertiti's to generate that kind of excitement. And if they do the fucking muslim fanatics will shoot up a busload of tourists and send the whole thing crashing down again. Fuckers didn't know when they had a good thing but that's religion for you.

One wonders what Ancient Eqypt could have accomplished had they not wasted so much of their time and energy on worrying about the "next" life instead of the only one they had.
Reminds me of today's religitards in a way.
Evolution really doesn’t work unless religitards can be prevented from reproducing.
Intelligent compassion defeats evolution. Perhaps that places a limit on the evolution of intelligent life. Once we gain the intelligence to ensure the survival of our lowest members, we pollute our gene pool to the point we are doomed.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

I have a friend who went with his girl friend right before the shit really hit the fan. Not a chance in the world I'll be visiting Egypt in what remains of my life, because of the religious strife. It's unfortunate, because tourism seems like all they had left.

I'd say the most amazing thing is how the Jewish population went from 80 to 1.4 million in just four generations, a number that only makes sense if every female was constantly pregnant with twins.

Must have been triplets, given how many first-born were slaughtered. I keed, I keed.
