Hilarious, if you ever make it to Seattle check out the Olde Curiosity Shoppe. Shrunken heads and mummified people. Not as glamorous as king Tut but the best we got.

When i read your posts I visualize you behind a mic saying it!

Um.. I'm English, and thankfully don't know the Steve Martin thing, but thanks for the laugh!! and the serruptitious Tut Exhibit. I'll never get there myself, my husband is a cultural heathen..

Hey, sounds like a great trip...but I am also quite disturbed about a 9 year old ruling. I trust that he must have had some mature advisors. I wonder how the power didn't go to his head?

I'd have gone for the chocolate head on a stick. But then, I'm PMSing...

At the original King Tut tour twenty-five years ago, I don't remember a gift shop at the end.

Years later, after touring the Andy Warhol exhibit at the same Gallery, my favourite item in the shop had to be the pasta shaped like Andy's head!

you should have gotten the head on the stick! Wouldn't you just love to suck on King Tut's head? Wait...that didn't come out right...

I guess that's the crowning mark of historical achievement, your head in confectionary effigy available for purchase by the general public.

Gift shops are a bane to all American Historical or family-friendly destinations. They exist solely to rob us of more of our already rapidly dwindling income. And its ironic how everything is within reach of anyone 2 years or older, especially if its colorful, light, and edible looking. They should all be smitten from existence by melting them down and pouring them into pewter ingots and when cooled selling bits of them at roadside diners and Stop and Go's. Anyway, that's my say........... oh, hey, they didn't have any King Tut keychains did they??

This is unrelated, but I just noticed in your profile, where you're supposed to write your favorite books, you wrote "Books?" like you'd never heard of such a thing. Made me spit my coffee out laughing.
