Mummy's Curse Claims Seventh Victim

There just aren't enough good mummy's curse stories anymore:

A MUMMY's curse has cast its shadow over the death of a Brisbane scientist who worked to unlock the secrets of a 5300-year-old man frozen in the Italian Alps.

A memorial service will be held on Monday for molecular archaeologist Tom Loy, who was found dead in his home a fortnight ago as he finalised his book on the world's oldest mummy, dubbed Oetzi.

Dr Loy, 63, director of the Archaeological Sciences Laboratories at the University of Queensland's Institute for Molecular Bioscience, became the seventh person to have died after coming into close contact with the iceman since his discovery in 1991.

"He didn't believe in the curse," a colleague said yesterday. "It was just superstition. People die."

Now who's laughing.

I'm sure there's a rational explanation for the deaths of all seven people, like werewolves or voodoo or listening to Madonna read from the Torah in that ridiculous James Mason accent of hers.

Mummy's Curse, bleh. Load of crap. There's very good reasons why archaeologists drop like gnats.

The idiots all took turns getting their pictures taken 'kissing the iceman.'
Then they ate his petrified trail mix during a coffee break.

Archaeology is the trade you go into when you're too unhygenic to be a mortician.

I just watched a show on this guy (Oetzi) on the History Channel a couple of days ago. The host, cameraman and two others about bought it trying to "retrace his steps" up the side of the mountain when a surprise blizzard jumped them.

well here is an idea. We take all the people who wish to "die with dignity" by asking Doctors to kill and instead let them hang around this mummy guy.

Problem solved.

The Curse Of The Mummy is obviously no joke. Neither is the Curse Of The Blog-Readers Who Never Found Out The Winner Of The Poetry Contest.

Michael,

Careful, you will find yourself on the "ignored" list....

For God's sake Ace! Just tell Michael he won, give him the big pink stuffed bunny and be done with it!

Posted by: Rightwingsparkle on November 3, 2005 10:12 PM

I think I'm already on that list.

"Dr Loy, 63..." And he was so young! And only 14 years after the mummy was discovered... I betcha 30 years from now The Curse will kill every member of the team. Because it's only a matter of time before The Curse gets you.

I'm not normally such a killjoy.

The post came after a poll from the National Republican Senatorial Committee was published showing that she was leading the pack of candidates with 35 percent in a hypothetical primary and was leading former Senate candidate Colin Allred, who was at 20 percent, per the Latin Times.

The Republican Senatorial Committee claims that she's ahead? LOL, that might be a little troll-poll.
