**dougie** , where’d you get that last line? The reason I ask is because my husband loves to watch old episodes of “Dragnet,” and just the other day, Friday used that as an insult to chastise some wayward juvenile delinquent.

Pharrell wrote the song _Happy_.

Amenhotep IV tried to convert Egypt to monotheism.

Plus the thread had just be necromancied, so I thought the Pharaoh/mummy/zombie thing made sense. It was also 4 in the morning and I couldn’t sleep.

Absolutely. A young woman–wearing a ring stolen from a man brutally murdered with a hammer–was arrested by Friday and Gannon (she was later tried and convicted as an accessory to murder). She blew smoke in Friday’s face, and said, “You got nice eyes–for a cop.” Friday was totally disgusted with her and spoke that comment. I felt the same way when I followed that link to Wikipedia (delayed due to technical problems with the computer).

I said technical problems. Can you read, or do you have opposable big toes?

Did you have no internet access at all?  
There is more than Wiki for information. I’ve even heard rumors of a new kind of website called a “search engine”.
