Egyptian Mummy
I was reading an archaeology magazine the other day and came across an interesting article about the first Egyptian mummy taken to Ireland. It was in 1835. A young woman, 22 yrs. old, the daughter of a priest. Her name was Takabuti. There were a few peculiarities about her, such as an extra tooth and an extra vertebrae. When they did a DNA scan (recent of course) she was a closer match to Europeans than Egyptians. She died young because she was murdered, stabbed in the back. What would a time machine tell us?

Last Night’s Dream.
In this alternate universe, I am a Taser Technician. My job
was to go and retrieve the Taser wires that were expended. Drag them back and
restore them to the Taser.
In our present world, Taser wires extend to about 15”. In my other
world, the wires fly out to about 150”. I saw myself crawling over bushes,
through windows and around buildings. Not surprising, because these are DNA seeking
Taser wires. Fire the weapon and it seeks the person. Taking the path of least
resistance, it went through thorn bushes, not around them.
I have nothing to do with the firing of the Taser. I think I am in the Police and I am definitely on the bottom of that totem pole. I just have to
collect all these strung out wires and stuff them back into a box for next
time. Frustrating job done and then I wake up.
