Random Thought #167

As I've been driving along the freeways here in Houston, I've seen billboards for the Houston Museum of Natural Science's new Egypt exhibit. I'm not Egyptologist but I've read a bit about ancient Egypt and the billboards are quite clever. One of them read "Not your average pyramid scheme" and the other one actually made me laugh. It said "Ankh if you love your mummy". In english this would say "Honk if you love your mom" but ankh is the word for life in ancient Egyptian so I thought it was a clever play on words. I wonder how many people actually understand that billboard. Anyways, they have one fan who is appreciative.
