Today City Workers received a dusty shock. Mummified remains were unearthed as the Civil Engineering Crew opened a paved city street to extend the far loop of the tracks, the City's latest improvement. Not much was made of the bandaged corpse other than the coroner speculating than it had been buried for more than twenty-five years.
KING TUT'S TOMB REVISITED?
Sources have told this writer that curses have befallen the men responsible for disturbing the mummy's grave. While none have actually dropped dead yet, many have suffered from inexplicable rashes that the local doctors called mystifying . In an effort to squelch rumors of the mummy's revenge, authorities attribute the breakouts they classified as mild to unfortunate run-ins with poison sumac, the more infectious of the poison ivy family. If this is true, why has a call been put in to the CDC and why have local businesses order more cases of oatmeal bath and calamine lotion?
The BCC intends to stay on top of this breaking story.
