'Well you see, Norm, it's like this .. ... . A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells.. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.'
On This Day: King Tutâs Tomb Discovered
November 26, 1922
On Nov. 26, 1922, British archaeologist Howard Carter made a small hole in a sealed doorway and, holding up a candle, shed light onto King Tutankhamenâs tomb in Luxor, Egypt, for the first time in more than 3,000 years.
Tutankhamenâs Tomb Discovered
When Carter first arrived in Egypt, in 1891, as part of a British-sponsored archaeological survey, most of the ancient tombs had been discovered and plundered; it seemed unlikely that any undisturbed burial chambers remained.
Carter, however, believed that the tomb of Tutankhamen, the boy king from 14th century B.C., still laid in the Valley of the Kings, on the eastern side of the Nile River. Sponsored by Lord Carnarvon, a collector of antiquities, Carter began excavating in the area in 1914.
On Nov. 4, 1922, Carter found the first signs of what proved to be Tutankhamen's tomb. But it was not until Nov. 26, after days spent clearing a passage down a long, steep stairway, that he and Lord Carnarvon reached a second sealed doorway, behind which were hidden treasures of the boy kingâs last resting place.
In his diary, Carter described the inside the tomb as a âstrange and wonderful medley of extraordinary and beautiful objects heaped upon one another.â
âWe questioned one another as to the meaning of it all,â he wrote. âWas it a tomb or merely a cache? A sealed doorway between the two sentinel statues proved there was more beyond, and with the numerous cartouches bearing the name of Tut.ankh.Amen on most of the objects before us, there was little doubt that there behind was the grave of that Pharaoh.â
On Feb. 16, 1923, after three months of removing the treasures, Carter was at last able to unseal the door of the burial chamber, revealing King Tutâs solid gold coffin and mummified remains.
Contents of the Tomb
Though they might seem today to be treasures beyond imagining, the contents of King Tut's tomb were modest by Pharaonic standards. In addition to jewelry and gold, Carter discovered a chariot, statuary and weapons.
The most stunning find was a stone sarcophagus containing three coffins nested within each other. Inside the final coffin, made of solid gold, was the mummified body of Tutankhamen, preserved for 3,200 years.

Tutankhamen ruled Egypt from 1336 to 1327 BC. His father Akenhaten left the 9-year-old heir with a country in ruins as a result of religious extremism.
The young king was originally named Tutankhaten, or "the living image of Aten," after the sun god. While he was young, the military and priesthood used him as a puppet while they pushed a return to traditional ways and religion. As a result, they renamed him Tutankhamen, after Amen, a traditional god.
Tutankhamen died suddenly at the age of 19. The circumstances of his death are still debated.

Some of the treasures found in Tutankhamenâs tomb are currently on display in several venues throughout the United States.
On this Day: President Lincoln Delivers Gettysburg Address
On Nov. 19, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln delivered one of the most famous speeches in American history, the Gettysburg Address.
In early July 1863, the Union Army under Maj. Gen. George Meade defeated Gen. Robert E. Lee's Confederate Army on the battlefield of Gettysburg, Pa. Between 46,000 and 51,000 soldiers died in the bloodiest battle of the Civil War.
The townspeople of Gettysburg took in wounded soldiers, cleaned the battlefield, and set out to create a large cemetery in memorial of the fighting that immortalized the town. Local lawyer David Wills organized the memorial's opening ceremony and invited President Lincoln to give a "few appropriate remarks."
"It will kindle anew in the breasts of the Comrades of these brave dead," wrote Wills, "who are now in the tented field or nobly meeting the foe in the front, a confidence that they who sleep in death on the Battle Field are not forgotten by those highest in Authority; and they will feel that, should their fate be the same, their remains will not be uncared for."
Between 10,000 and 15,000 people gathered at Gettysburg's Cemetery Hill on Nov. 19 to see the ceremony. Famed orator Edward Everett delivered the keynote address, speaking for two hours before Lincoln's "Dedicatory Remarks." In his speech, Lincoln reflected on the Enlightenment ideals of liberty and equality central to the founding of the country and spoke of the Union's duty to the deceased.
