   Wow, they must have one heck of a resume!
"So, Brother Bob. What did you do on your last job?"
"I worked on the Japan project. I designed the katakana, as well as Japanese
verb conjugations. Also," (smiles with pride) "You like Mongolian? All
mine."
"Wow!" Interviewer gasps in amazement. "Did you happen to do..." (pause for
dramatic effect, mood music heightens) "~Basque~?"

No. No! NO!
The Egyptians got it from the *Atlanteans*!
The Atlanteans got it from the dolphins, who got it from the white mice, who
did the actual contracting to the aliens who built the pyramids.

Sheesh! The drivel kids learn in school these days...   ;-)

(For those who do not recognise the reference, the white mice build earth as
a super computer, according to "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" trilogy
by Douglas Adams. It's a book every geek in the US and UK has read.)
