There are three respected scientists who happen to stumble upon a set of previously unknown pyramids while out in the desert. and because each of them want to have a share in the fame and wealth, they each decide to explore their own pyramid and get their own credit for their exploits. The first, a biologist, goes into the first pyramid and everything seems normal, except for when he entered, he heard “beware the mummy’s curse! Beware of the red rose!” “ok, that was kind of weird” the biologist says, but he keeps going into the pyramid and finds all manner of fossilized plants and animals and just everything that he could have wanted from the pyramid, he looks on the back wall and to his dismay, there was a giant red rose painted on a circle in the wall. so he starts to move some of the plants out of the pyramid to experiment on them, expecting something horrible to happen with the flower, but nothing happens until the very last specimen is moved, then there was a rumble and the wall around the flower broke away revealing a giant Indiana Jones-esque boulder, but it only rolls for 5 feet towards the scientist then backwards because he had to go down stairs to get into the pyramid and gravity doesn’t work that way. The next day the second scientist, this time an anthropologist, goes into the second, slightly larger pyramid. sure enough, after exploring a bit a disembodied voice spoke out, “Beware the mummy’s curse! Beware the Beetle!” the anthropologist thought, “Beware the beetle? i thought he said it was a flower! stupid biologist not even knowing the difference between a bug and a flower” so he goes further into the pyramid and discovers a giant trove of weapons, writings, and even a complete written history of the civilization that built the pyramids. then he looks up and sees a great golden beetle on a pillar at the back of the room. he started to excavate the writings expecting the beetle to come alive and chase him out of the room or something similar, but nothing happens and he keeps taking the artifacts out of the pyramid for experiments. right as he picked the last clay urn up he felt a rumbling and he turned to see the giant beetle open it’s wings and start to try to fly, but it was made out of gold and that’s really heavy so it just ended up only flying 5 feet before falling on the floor and breaking into a million pieces. The third day, after hearing about the other’s exploits, the physicist is pretty excited, the other scientists got some great hauls and he wants a piece of the action, so he goes into the third and largest pyramid because he drew the big straw. once again, after entering and exploring a bit, he hears, “Beware the mummy’s curse! Beware the coffin!” “Beware the coffin? that’s kind of weird, the others said it was a bug and a flower, oh well, it’s not like they had a real education like i have or anything.” so he goes in and explores some more and stumbles upon something that completely blows his mind, there were tablets with detailed equations and star charts that rivaled even the most advanced charts of the modern times. the only odd part is that in the middle of the room there is a coffin, nothing special, just a brown wooden coffin. he gets really excited and starts to take the tablets out without even giving the coffin a second thought, because if the others didn’t get hurt, why would he? so as he picks up the final star chart tablet the whole place starts to rumble and the coffin jumps up so that it’d be standing up on it’s feet and it starts to slowly hop towards him. he looks at it for a minute, but it was only hopping five inches every couple seconds, something he could easily walk away from. so he closes the door behind him and hears the “Whump, Whump, Whump” as the coffin banged against the door every few minutes, it looked like the door would hold so he left the pyramid and joined his colleagues up on the surface and told them what happened. So the three respective scientists go their separate ways and each becomes a celebrity in their respective fields. Five years later, the biologist was at a conference presenting his findings and it just so happens to be at the same time as a parade with giant floats shaped like all types of things, cartoon characters, animals, everything, there was even a giant red rose float. After he gives his speech and gets a giant applause from the crowd, the people holding the giant rose down lose their grip and it crashes into the building above the biologist right as he comes outside and falls on him, the floats aren’t exactly light and this one had taken pieces of the building with it, so the biologist was crushed to death. the following day, the anthropologist just so happened to be setting up his exhibit in the Smithsonian that details the lives of the pyramid builders when a display showing the history of Volkswagen snapped and sent a pile of old VW bugs on top of him, killing him instantly. The third scientist hears about the first two and starts to freak out because he knows it’s the mummy’s curse. He built a safehouse with everything that could keep him alive for years and years, he has canned food, twinkies, video games, an external generator powered by the sun, medicine, anti-psychosis tapes, movies, EVERYTHING! he then built it so that nobody could enter or leave until he had the coffin problem figured out. then all of a sudden, he hears a muffled “Whump! Whump! Whump!” and through the floor burst the coffin. because it could only move so fast he tried everything to stop it, he shot it with all manner of guns. stabbed it with knives, threw rocks at it, threw food at it, threw video games at it, threw twinkies at it, then he threw some medicine at it and the coffin stops dead in it’s tracks, falls over and bursts into flames because nothing stops the coffin like Robitussin cough and cold.

No it doesn’t. At all. If you learn about firearms from bullshit film/pop-culture/Video games you are prone to misinformation from people who have probably never even owned a firearm. A clip is a small piece of metal the size of a Popsicle stick with grooves on either side. The cartridge of each round has a beveled groove at the rear called a rim. A clip, is a small metal part which binds appx 5-10 rounds of ammunition together by sliding the rim of the round into the grooves of the clip. I have an SKS. I have clips. They are used for loading quickly, and they are then completely removed from the rifle (and usually thrown away) They can still of course be re-used, and I do, but the idea is that they are cheap and easy, and a much more efficient way of loading fixed magazine weapons than by hand. I also own an M4, and it uses interchangeable magazines. By comparison, a “magazine” can come in many shapes and capacities, and usually completely encases the rounds entirely except for one opening at the top. Removable magazines, unlike clips, are kept in place while the rifle is fired (obviously). Magazines look like metal boxes, and have a spring loaded floor to assist in feeding the next round to the correct height for the bolt. You are used to seeing magazines. You probably hear idiots interchanging the two terms. That is because they are idiots. A few examples of ONLY clip fed rifles? SKS, Kar. 98k, Mosin Nagant, M1 Garand (en bloc clip), etc… Each of these either has a detachable box, hinged box, or internal box magazine. So just FYI. There is an enormous difference.

A cologne my dad wears/wore. It reminds be of a little kid playing video games in his office, his collection of walking canes, his globe of the Earth, and his oak wood furniture.
