Cecil B. DeMille’s whips-and-slaves theory of the construction of the pyramids and the raising-giant-blocks-of-stone-by-kite theory have both come under fire by scientists who claim the pyramids are simply cast concrete. Actually, the theory has been around for like 20 years or more, but is strongly resisted by many. The Egyptian government, for example (according to a recent newspaper article) refuses to allow scientists to take any more samples from the stones of the pyramids to test the theory.
The ancient Egyptians as you know, are believed to have worshipped cats. Like, what cat owner doesn’t sooner or later find him/herself in a relationship with the cat that strongly resembles worship?
And speaking of cats, especially red, water loving cats, my cat Moritz fell into the toilet yesterday. But I got him out in time.
Hmm! I wonder what test he’ll set you next? ;)
In time for what?
Well, I didn’t want to get into the details of it, this being a family site and all, but, okay, I’m standing there taking a leak, right? And he’s up on his hind legs looking into the bowl, fascinated. And it’s real tempting to piss on his head, but you don’t want to get into a pissing war with a tomcat, believe me, not before he’s been castrated. You just cannot win. And then, when I finish, he jumps up onto the rim of the toilet to get a better look. Then I flush it, and the sudden roar of water startles him, and he does that cartoon-spinout thing they do when they try to start running on a slippery surface, and falls into the flushing toilet. And I pulled him out just in time to keep from going down the pipe. I doubt he would’ve actually gone all the way down the pipe, but he could’ve gotten stuck.
Cast concrete! Lazy fucking ancient egyptians.
you know they say that cats were worshipped in ancient egypt, and have never forgotten the fact.
mine hasn’t, anyway.
does royalty normally swim in toilets?
