Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I hope that, no matter the outcome, we don't see a Taliban-type government going out and destroying all of the pyramds and such as abominiations to Allah, like they did with the Buddhas of Bamiyan in Afghanistan...I'd like to see the pyramids someday if the country settles down again...

Why would they do that?

They've got a shiny new Pharaoh as president!

Better hope you are in good health and the Pyramids are as solid as they look.
It only took about 1200 years to break the caliphate's hold last time around...
