Peter, why have you got...

...a computer generated image of the head of Cleopatra as your avatar?

Just wondering like, no reason why you shouldn't.

And i thought he was sucking up to Dello.

Bumpity for, Peter.

Why do you think it's Cleo?

It's King Tut.

Thanks for helpful comment, Nige. Cheery as ever.

And as for why King Tut?

That's the pessimist's question.

And the optimist's answer is:

Why not?

I saw a programme that did a similar thing of Cleo , not based on real finds of Cleo's remains obviously...

Have they MRI'd his sarcophagus or something then to do that? It's fascinating.

It is the relatively new projection, based on all the evidence collated on to the database.

Just google-image "King Tut", and go to one of the pages, if you want to follow it up, Ange.

BTW: I am not saying I am King Tut. (Or any of a string of grandiose James Clavell heroes, for that matter! )

I just thought it made a change from Ponting, cricket shots, and standard stuff.

It's okay, I'm sure you don't use kohl, Peter.

Oh and thank you for the tip.

You'e right, I have no use for superannuated , (unsexily) bulky conservative German chancellors.

King Tut looks gye.

That was my contribution to the thread. I'm done now.

Have you got something against that?

(> Seinfeld)

Nah, he was just metrosexual.

I'd forgotten they'd taken him out of the sarcophagus a couple of years ago.

And you could do plenty with a corpulent German.

Just because you are scared of trying out the mardi gras, furri, doesn't mean you have to ban people 50 centuries ago from dabbing on a bit of moisturiser and kohl

Or look all disparagingly po-faced at their possible fashions ....

You could build pyramids with them!

(though that might frighten the children)

Tut, tut; Tut.

They tried to build a pyramid of corpulent humans in an episode of The Simpsons.

Did they succeed?

Pyramid mis-selling?

on and on and on about Watney's Red Barrel ...

Boof?

... and now you have Belfs.

When did they kick in? Actually they do look a bit can-can, lined up festively under your avatar; what a thought ...

Ever noticed how Elron Belfson looks like Elroy Jetson? Proof:



Coincidence? I ruddy well think not!

His boy Elron? Sick time-travelling f*ckers.

Based on an original idea ...

whatever they are ... Cleopatras, Tuts, or ginger merinos ... I've got the blighters now
