Topic: "That Looks Like Me"(5)
Imagine, dear reader, entering a burial chamber in the Great Pyramid of Giza, and how it must feel. Created thousands of years ago without the benefit of any technology or mechanism beyond that of levers and wheels, as best we know. To climb toward the epicenter of ancient civilization knowing that countless generations separate that which is now the past, and that you are one of the privileged few to actually walk inside. It has long been Frodo's dream to do what President Barack Obama did today.
It was not however, Frodo's expectation that anyone would enter, especially the President, and observe a carving on an interior wall which would cause him to remark "that looks like me." What is even more bizarre is the fact that he was correct, it did look like him.
Frodo is proud to be the first to attest that the carving was placed there by space aliens thousands of years ago. Predicting that a "skinny kid, with big ears" would someday enter the structure they created as a beacon for return visitations, the space aliens etched his likeness in the inner sanctum reserved for a High Priest. The question on everyone's mind, Frodo is sure, is what exactly were the space aliens trying to tell President Obama?
Countless hours of research have now provided mankind with the answer, and Frodo has been given the responsibility to make the information available to inquiring minds all over the small, blue planet. The message is simple enough, and priceless. The space aliens foretold the fact that President Obama would enter the Valley of Kings on the same day that the Atlanta Braves released Tom Glavine.
Hey, that's important, too!
