Interesting discovery about ancient Egypt.

[Orrex]

Before ascending to the first throne of the Fourth Dynasty, Sneferu was chatting one day with his father Huni and mentioned his plan by which all of Egypt could become fabulously wealthy.

"The Children of the Nile will build for me the mightiest structure ever seen," said Sneferu. "And everyone who contributes will be rewarded many times over."

"I don't know," said Huni, the aging ruler of the Third Dynasty. "I don't think these pyramid schemes ever work."

5. Funny you should mention that

Robert Gates was giving President Bush his daily briefing, including the sad news that four volunteer aid workers from Cairo had been slain.

"The Egyptians were just out for a walk," said the Secretary, "when they were mercilessly gunned down."

"Big deal," said the President coldly. "I never liked The Bangles anyway."

But in the end, Egypt him.

but, three times he found groups of pyramidiots to finance his building. The end result was the Red Pyramid so at least he left behind something very nice.
