Thieves Find Cemetery of Pharaoh's Dentists
junglee_iitk writes with news of an important archaeological find from Egypt. Grave robbers located a tomb and were arrested while digging; what they found turns out to be the graves of three dentists who took care of a Pharaoh's teeth. The graves are located in the shadow of the Step Pyramid at Saqqara, said to be Egypt's oldest, and are around 4,000 years old. From the article: "Although archaeologists have been exploring Egypt's ruins intensively for more than 150 years, [a senior archaeologist] believes only 30 percent of what lies hidden beneath the sands has been uncovered." Yahoo has a few pictures of the dig.
three dentists who took care of a Pharaoh's teeth.
Of course, they only had the teeth because the thieves ancestors stole the rest of the body. They took them to court and cried "I want my mummy!", but for some reason the judge kept it under wraps.
They left just the teeth. That's got to bite.
Have you read my journal today?
Did they find her?
If you do not support saving these remains, you must be some sort of anti-dentite.
Where were you when the voynix came?
"It's easier to go through a lot of sites if you can use a bulldozer instead of a toothbrush (figuratively)"
If I hear someone saying that through the office door in the waiting room at the dentist's, I'm out of there.

The graves of George Washington's crack dental team are probably safe.
That led archaeologists to the three tombs, one of which included an inscription warning that anyone who violated the sanctity of the grave would be eaten by a crocodile and a snake...
So let me get this straight... First the crocodile eats you and then is the crocodile eaten by the snake? Or does the crocodile spit you out first?

Close...replace "spit" with a very similar word...
Reduce, reuse, cycle
What if the Hokey Pokey really is what it's all about?
Still hasn't paid.
The croc bites you up and takes all the big parts and the snake gets to finish up all your juicy bite-sized nuggets.
You are so boring that when I see you my feet go to sleep.
All the old Pharoahs in the tombs
Didn't brush enough, dont you know
It led to tooth decay (oh whey oh)
Teeth falling out like a hockey Joe.
All the king's dentists by the Nile
Don't even know 'bout filling holes
Gold incisors (oh whey oh)
Go in after the old get pulled.
Plier bites without nitrous pipes say:
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Yank like an Egyptian.
As if the stack of old Highlights magazines in the entryway were not clue enough...
Pharohs' Dentists Found in Egyptian Cavity :)
Serving your airship needs since 1995.
That's a pretty funny joke. I can't imagine why you got modded 'Interesting' instead. Unless you and the mods actually want to know about how dental care was done in Egypt back then, in which case, my bad. I still think it's kind of funny, though. You know, in a "why couldn't they have raided the Egyptian Porn Stars' tombs" kind of way.
