Ok, I admit my mind works in really weird ways, but any time someone mentions King Tut, all I can think of is Steve Martin on SNL.  King Tut, How'd You Get so Funky?

Hi Dorie,
It's always interesting to look back on history. I knew Monopoly was older than me, but I didn't know how much older.

Hi Dorie-I remember when people were abuzz about Harry Potter. I had to find out what it was all about so began reading the books. I read them all and have seen all of the movies. They're not just for children either.
