Final Weekly Post

Happy Presidents' Day Weekend!  We've come full circle and it's been exactly one year since my first posting of a historical photo.  Remember the great photo of me and Abe Lincoln sharing secret mental communication on the topic of cookies?

A lot of people have commented that they really like the above graphic.  If you're so inclined, you can buy my officially licensed products by clicking on either of the links below.  T-shirts, postcards, note cards, stickers, and more!

King Tut and Mummies

On February 16, 1923 -- 88 years ago this week -- archaeologists in Egypt opened the tomb of King Tut.  Whoa!  Scary!  I never would have opened the tomb for fear that a mummy might emerge and chase me down the block.  On the other hand, if I grabbed a loose piece of the mummy's outfit and ran like the wind, he would unwind like a roll of toilet paper.  That would be funny!  I'm not saying I've done that with the toilet paper but, if I had, it would have been funny.  Above, you can see one of the recently discovered tablets of the Egyptian Rosetta Stone.  The English translation for the distinctive symbol in the third column  means, literally, "totally awesome."

Can you believe we've already come to the end of one year since I started my weekly blog?  As promised, I've brought you interesting photos from history, or just photos I like, every week for one full year.  Next week will be the last of my weekly blogs.

Super Bowl XLV

Hi football fans!  Ugh!  I must say that although I like to run around at top speed, I am not much of a professional sports fan.  If there is any redeeming quality to it, aside from getting to run around at top speed, it's that it can be watched on TV while sprawled out on the couch.  Nonetheless, I thought this week's blog should note the victory of the Green Bay Packers over the Pittsburgh Steelers in this year's Super Bowl.  As you can see in the above photo, I briefly played for Green Bay but was cut because I couldn't resist darting into the middle before the snap, grabbing the ball, and taking off.  There might be some fast guys on the Green Bay team but no one could ever catch me.  No one!  I am fast.
