This is pretty cool,....picked this up from the PBS web sight. Type in your name and see what it looks like in ancient Egyptian. Wound up with some strange looking symbol shapes which spelled out my name,...I was hoping for eagles, falcons,...and ferocious beasts of some sort. No such luck.

Well....not exactly what I thought my name would look like in Hieroglyphs.

1949 Dodge Hubcap

Spatula

Three legged mouse

Rotten Onion

1949 Dodge Hubcap

Half-eaten cheeseburger

Yeti with a broken arm

Not at all how I expected the ancient Egyptians to spell my name.

Ha, ha! I got two birds, and electric cord and a few paper clips. Guess I'll stick with the Roman alphabet.

What tha heck? An owl, bent paper clip, extension cord, maze, falcon, bent paper clip, all being chased by a lion? I guess I'd be happy to have these if I was McGuyver. I'm sure I would be able to build something awesome, that would save the world, and not permanently harm any of the bad guys in the process. :icon_lol:
