Supposedly Tutankhamun wasn't very important in life in comparison to his peers, and was buried in a smaller tomb than he was entitled too, and apparently they even threw diggings from other nearby tombs covering up his tomb. And his tomb was robbed twice but they took oils and perfumes. Maybe gold prices were really deflated when he was robbed!!!

That's all from Wiki -- so don't know how reliable that information is.

Yes, in "The Tomb of Tutankhamen" written by Howard Carter, the tomb's discoverer, Carter says it is clear that robbers tunneled through the rubble and breached the tomb. They scattered some items in the ante-chamber and stole portable things like jewelry and gems. This was apparently relatively soon after burial and supports the idea that the perpetrators were the workmen or others with knowledge of the location. The priests refilled the tunnel and once again sealed the tomb after which it lay undisturbed for millennia. You don't want to know what happened to the robbers when they were caught :-)

He's everywhere, he's everywhere...!

(Reuters) - Scientists believe they may have found a new weapon in the fight against Alzheimer's disease -- not in the form of a drug but in focused beams of ultrasound.

While the approach has only been tested in mice, researchers said on Wednesday it proved surprisingly good at clearing tangles of plaques linked to Alzheimer's in the animals' brains and improving their memory, as measured by tests such as navigating a maze.

[...]

"Our research was very exploratory and we really didn't expect to see such a massive effect," Juergen Goetz of the University of Queensland in Brisbane, one of study authors, told Reuters. "I'm really excited by this."

Remember the film where they shrink the ship and go into the human body. If we ever get smart remote controlled nano-bots there's a few diseases we could attack directly, like clearing arteries in heart disease. Plus being able to search out cancer cells visually from the inside on a continuous mission.

Of course, as that movie speculated, you might be attacked by the body's own defense system.

Proposed Twilight Zone episode where a powerful alien race issues every human on Earth over the age of 21 his or her suitcase size nuclear bomb.

After the initial carnage and chaos, would there be anything left? Would anyone still living be able to get a handle on things. Would the Earth even be livable with enough infrastructure to survive?

Just imagine - no nations army can do much against such a situation. Of course, the defense is mutual destruction if the military comes for you. But it would be sort of pointless with so many destructive devices anyway.
