Ancient Egyptian statue has started MOVING sparking fears it has been struck by a 'curse of the Pharaohs'
It sounds like the something from the script of a Hollywood action adventure. But the 'mystery of the moving mummy' - which has seen an Egyptian statue mysteriously start to spin round in a display case - has spooked museum bosses.

Statue: Yes, you are! (faces husband slightly, then turns back around)
Husband: No, I'm not.
Statue: You just said it. So you are. (Looks directly at husband.)
Husband: Okay. Whatever you say.
Statue: I don't want to talk about it! (Turns to face the wall again.)
Get ready for an earworm

Affix velcro to the statue bottom and the glass, and see where it goes.
Hmmm. Gumby. Would they dare? Drumming up business for the Manchester Museum perhaps?
Awww yeah!
Please add me to this ping list. Thanks!
Call maintenance, they will drill it and screw it down with some sheetrock screws.

THE CASE OF THE SPINNING MUMMY......
“We’ll, Holmes, you’ve examined everything. Why do think the mummy is spinning?”
“Elementary, my dear Watson......when all logical explanations have been ruled out, that only leaves an illogical explanation.”
“And that is?”
“Split Pea soup. It makes as much sense as anything else, and besides, I’m hungry.”
Let’s put Jerry Rivers on it. He’ll figure it out. Maybe if he stays there until he does...
