the Egyptians used beer as ... an anal fumigant

Those egyptians are just a wee bit wacky if you ask me.

It sort of brings a whole new meaning to that song "Walk Like an Egyptian", doesn't it? ;-)

And while I'm thinking of it, was there a prefered brand of beer for that Egyptian fumigation thing? Was there a "Buttweiser, the Pharaoh of Beers" or something?
