Chipping away the erosion, getting back in the game

Ethan Switch - Wednesday, March 15, 2006 - 23:24:21 - print it raw

Falling in line with other decrepit monuments around the world, the Great Sphinx of Giza is prepping to undergo a little cosmetic surgery. Facing a facelift, the ancient beast will see work carried out on its neck and chest, the bounce having been taken away by erosion and exposure to the eyeballs of tourists.

Built more than 5000 years ago with the aid of alien spitting juices from above, the restoration work, to be seen by the High Council for Antiquities, will rejuvenate the great pharaonic icon back on the mend.

With the works to focus on the neck and chest, the nose will remain broken and missing from the face. Given the dry winds and sandy conditions, how this affects the breathing of the inanimate guardian cannot be said.

On that note...

Articles and all that more wordy stuff

Where in Kentucky - Mammoth Cave National Park: Monstrously, and seemingly neverending, sitting under the home ground of Colonel Sanders, the world's largest cave system. Yucatan comes nowhere close. Not even Cocklebiddy poses a threat. No comparison. Small holes looking up at a big fat long one. Sadly, with possible age and lack of food, no minotaurs to be found within the lime walls.
Homebrew Diary - Wheatbeer of misery: If what can turn a foul mood around becomes the harbinger of the foul mood, what happens next? Turn it into a learning experience. And when that learning curve makes a late break over the plate, you'd better start to swing away.
Homebrew Diary - Blackrock IPA + Hops: It doesn't take a big man to admit that he drinks. It takes a big man to get wasted and perform impromptu sermons naked from a balcony; raving upon the ravages of the insanity of stata bylaws and noisy offspring in adjoining arpartments...
