Mummy Juanita:

LIMA, Peru - A top Peruvian anthropologist said Friday that President Clinton's joke about the sex appeal of an Inca mummy was "tacky" and criticized the display of the mummy in Washington.
Clinton joked during a political fund-raiser Wednesday that the 500-year-old frozen mummy, known as the Ice Princess, was "good-looking" and if he were single he might ask her out. "That mummy looks better than I do on my worst days," he said.
Anthropologist Sonia Guillen said, "Obviously, there's a lack of respect" in Clinton's remarks.
"Called Juanita by Peruvian scientists, the 12 to 14-year-old girl apparently was killed by a powerful blow to the head 500 years ago and sacrificed to the gods atop 20,000-foot-high Mt. Ampato."

Well, after all - every baby has a mummy.
20 week foetus? Didn’t those Egyptians know what a foetus really is? How civilized we now are :)
“Tiny mummies...” (Sung to the tune of “Tiny Bubbles”).
So an unborn child was considered a real person and required a formal funeral?
I guess ancient Egypt had a more advanced civilization than we do...
Is that a tamale?
Way back in my younger days that would be a Friday night party bone.
Cheech and Chong? Up in Smoke?
I heard the kid’s name was Hawke.

“I shall call him, Minny Mummy Me.”
I'd be interested to know if any of the scientists who thought she was a hawk are among those declaring human-caused climate change to be "settled science."
