Seattle, welcome your new 8-ton jackal-headed overlord
The first things that leap to mind when you think "Seattle" are the constant drizzle, the bottomless cups of coffee and, of course, the Egyptian god of mummification and the afterlife. For the next few weeks, the jackal-headed Anubis might become more ubiquitous than the Starbucks mermaid, thanks to a borrowed 26-foot-tall, 8.5-ton statue.
The oversized overlord will travel on a barge in the Seattle Yacht Club's annual opening-day parade before becoming an unavoidable advertisement for the Pacific Science Center's "Tutankhamun: The Golden King and the Great Pharaohs" exhibit. C'mon, Eddie Bauer, you know he's just begging for a 4-ton raincoat.
What's the strangest thing you've seen in a parade?
