I read five newspapers today. One was national, one was regional, one was municipal, and two were from my school. (The lack of a word for this that would fit the other words irks me.) Guess how many of them mentioned the professor at my school who posted certain Danish cartoons on his office door?

If you guessed "all of them", you'd be off by one, but that's because it went to print a week before it happened.

Man. March must be happy. He's got people defending and protesting him in the National Post!

The National Post also had an article about Brokeback to the Future.

And I uncovered this lovely titbit. (taichara, I know your mailing lists probably scooped me on this one, but in case they hadn't....)

Intact tomb discovered in Valley of Kings, first since King Tut's in 1922

U.S. archaeologists have uncovered what appears to be an intact tomb in the Valley of the Kings, the first found in the valley since that of Tutankhamun in 1922. It contains five or six mummies in intact sarcophagi from the late 18th dynasy, about the same period as Tutankhamun, pictured [but not here], a team member said yesterday, but archaeologists have not had the time or access to identify them. Although the Valley of the Kings is southern Egypt contains the tombs of most of the pharaohs of the time, the mummies in the newly found tomb are not necessarily royal. The five sarcophagi, which are carved to human form, have coloured funerary masks. The tomb, about five kilometres from Tut's tomb, was concealed by the rubble of workers' huts dating from the 19th dynasty."

Any bets?
