Are You Kidding Me?

Another prize? Well, shut my mouth.

King Tut rose to the throne at the age of nine and burned so brightly that he had to die at age 19. He married his sister, produced two stillborn girls, may have been murdered, spawned one of Batman's most nefarious arch-villains, and became the most popular Pharoah of all time, bar none. His body was exhumed and dismembered in the 1920s and he embarked on one of history's biggest and most well-attended world tours in the 1980s - bigger than Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Slim Whitman, and the Beatles combined. Now he comes to you as a tissue box replica of his sarcophagus. The tissues come out his nose, just like his brain did in the procedure prior to mummification, which is ironic, because when you're sick and those giant hunks of mucus are blasting out of your nose when you blow, I bet it sometimes feels as though your frontal lobe is shaking loose and spewing out your nostrils.

Since the prize pile is getting so huge, The Committee will meet to discuss the proper distribution of prizes across all contest categories.
