   It's not stealing if he's been dead for 3000 years...

Reading an article about new discoveries in Egypt:

Twenty pear-shaped containers, one metre in height and bearing Tutankhamun's official seal were also discovered.
According to Mr Hawass, the containers are probably full of provisions that were destined to travel with the pharaoh to the afterlife. They will be opened soon, he said.


I know I'm a big softy, but there's something terribly sad about this. The poor guy just wanted to journey to the afterlife in peace and these dudes come along to steal his fruit basket.
