        You’re welcome!

        Did you notice (I didn’t until someone else pointed it out), that all the hieroglyphs on the wall are also memes?

      I was disappointed I had to scroll this far for an “Only Connect” reference.

      I think in series 1 it was Greek letters and people complained it was too academic, so they switched to hieroglyphs to spite the feedback.

    I can’t help it, I’m reminded of some educational Youtube thing, like I think Sci-Show or some similar, went to a museum to talk to an egyptologist for a lesson on reading hieroglyphs, and the example they used was a doorway to a pharaoh’s tomb. It had the pharaoh’s name in a cartouche, a motto/title “Bringer of stability and life” and a couple figures of gods. And it occurred to me it read exactly like a breakfast cereal box.

    Ramses The 7th, bringer of stability and life. Osiris tested, Horus approved. Part of this complete dynasty.
