The executive producer of that show was a regular crew member on the Mirage 33 I crewed on and we did have Rick out once. Funny guy. Mercer should be Prime Minister. Have you seen his " Dudes on Parliament Hill " video on You Tube? Hilarious. ******************** No... I'll have to look for it. |

Here, Let Wiki be your friend. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_language Egyptian is the indigenous language of Egypt and a branch of the Afroasiatic language family. Written records of the Egyptian language have been dated from about 3400 BC,[1] making it one of the oldest recorded languages known. Egyptian was spoken until the late 17th century AD in the form of Coptic. The national language of modern-day Egypt is Egyptian Arabic, which gradually replaced Coptic as the language of daily life in the centuries after the Muslim conquest of Egypt. Scholars group the Egyptian language into six major chronological divisions:[4] * * *Archaic Egyptian (before 2600 BC, the language of the Early Dynastic Period) * * *Old Egyptian (2686 BC – 2181 BC, the language of the Old Kingdom) * * *Middle Egyptian (2055 BC – 1650 BC): characterizing Middle Kingdom (2055 BC – 1650 BC), but enduring through the early 18th Dynasty until the Amarna Period(1353 BC), and continuing on as a literary language into the 4th century AD). * * *Late Egyptian (1069 BC – 700 BC): characterizing the Third Intermediate Period (1069 BC – 700 BC), but starting earlier with the Amarna Period (1353 BC). * * *Demotic (7th century BC – 5th century AD, Late Period through Roman times) * * *Coptic (1st century AD – 17th century AD, early Roman times to early modern times) Never mind that, Tim...the real question: Can you *walk* like an Egyptian? Of course!! And my wife is the Queen of Denial I especially like what happens at 2:48 ?;^ ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwGVDmEsi8A |

Looks like Cairo is going to flood unless the Army Corps blows the levee to relieve the flooding , problem is that Missouri is screaming mad about it, because they'll catch the blunt of the flood. and I'd be mad about it too. |
