What was he, a goalkeeper?

Schmeichel? Sorry, I'm a Championship man these days...

Well done! It was indeed Schmeichel!

Why are you now a Championship man, has your team been relegated??

Anyway, take the plate Weyland...

Woo, now that was a guess!

I thought no-one but a goalie would spend that long in the Prem with a scorecard like that, and he was the most famous foreign one I could think of...

My team went from the Prem a few years back, after yo-yoing for a bit. And nearly went down again this season too (think we're safe now tho

). We seem to be magnetically attracted to any division with a "1" in the title, so it's always worrying when they change the names.

Anyway, here's a reeeally yuk question (I should stop watching the history channels):

What were the four internal organs that the Ancient Egyptians placed in seperate jars when mummifying a corpse?

good old egyptology, bit of a penchant for all things egypt in my family.

The jars were called canopic jars (or can o piss as me dad keeps calling em)

Idea was that they kept all the major viscera (guts/internal organs) in them. Four jars are used on which are depicted the images of the four sons of Horus said to be the guardians of the organs.

The liver, lungs, stomach (large intestines) and the small intestines are all placed in the jars.

The heart was considered the soul and so never removed and the brain just considered the source of mucus and so liquified and removed through the nose.

The idea was that if the rest of the organs remained in the body they would putrify so by removing them but burying them along with the mummified body you would keep the body intact for its journey to the afterlife.

Egyptians were truly incredible people and their civilisation is one of the most fascinating things to read over

Full-on correct by jimmymac there.

I believe the four sons were Imset, Dwamutef, Hapy and Qebsenuef. A mummy would also often have a spare tongue placed the tomb, in case their own wore out - communication was essential.

The Egyptians were not alone in thinking the brain was pretty useless, I seem to remember the "Natural Philosophers" of the 17th century thought it was a device for cooling the blood.

Now, if jimmymac will ask the next question, I've got... something in the freezer...

ok sticking with the egyptian theme and this might involve some guess work, i.e. just throw some names out. We shall see how this one pans out
