HOTS
May 15, 2012

According to noted Egyptologist Steve Martin, King Tutankhamun was born in Arizona then moved to Babylonia. HOTS however is en route to visit the boy pharaoh in Seattle.
Next week a King Tut exhibit will open at the Pacific Science Center. Featuring over 120 of the ancient treasures unearthed by tomb discoverer Howard Carter and his successors the show will run until January, 2013. The entire city has been captivated by the curse of the mummy. King Street Station has been temporarily renamed King Tut Station and is now guarded by a 28-foot Anubis, the god of Egyptian afterlife.
Whether Ra, the Egyptian god of the sun, will be visiting perennially Winter cloudy Seattle is unknown.


Air travel has never frightened HOTS. Snakes, on the other hand, give HOTS the willies.
Last month, less than 30 minutes after charter pilot Braden Blennerhassett took off on a cargo mission from Darwin in Australia’s Northern Territory, a snake emerged besides the transmission button, slithering its way down the instrument panel and onto Blennerhassett’s leg.
Radioing in his dilemma to air traffic controllers, Blennerhassett was told to return to Darwin. He requested a snake handler be present when he landed and quickly jumped out of the plane when safely on the runway. Luckily for Blennerhassett the serpent was a non-venomous golden tree snake.
HOTS has a few questions. One: how did the snake get on the plane? Two: how did it make its way through the potentially lethal labyrinth or moving parts and electrical wires housed within the body of the aircraft? Three: when did snakes stop flying commercial?
