Egyptologists from the Brooklyn Museum and doctors from North Shore University Hospital learned Tuesday through a CT scan that a 2,500-year-old mummy previously thought to be a woman - and named Lady Hor - actually was a man.

Dr. Jesse Chusid said that while the mummy's body wrap of linen covered in plaster, called cartonnage, bore the shape of a woman, the body within had the anatomy of a man.

Most likely an attempt to conceal the identity of the mummy in order to stymie grave robbers.

what's next?
There will be a Federal supported Study group first with a multi million dollar budget, then a support group calling for the rights of Queer Zombies to marry Transvestite Mummies. Then ACLU goes to court for them, so they can adopt normal children. Finally the Egyptians will sue us for illegally x raying their mummy. Some of them will take this as an excuse to execute or behead an American journalist or tourist. Bomb a ship or an embassy. Obama will declare that it is the right of Mummy Bombers to be mad and ask them to a Hot dog Dinner in the white House where Falafel and Sheep eyes are served instead

Those two guys look suspiciously alike, almost like brothers.

You don’t suppose....?

No, I won’t go there. The world is weird enough already.
