As Mike Brady Would Say: "Caveat Emptor"


On Monday this ancient Mayan Relic was sold at a Paris auction for 4.1 million dollars.
$4,100,000.00

Then they figured out is was a fake. Cuss!

Next time I am going to instruct my 3rd Grader to be more careful in art class, and make sure the sandals are period specific. I thought he knew that the Mayans didn't use leg straps. That was the Nephites. Duh!

He's excited because if he gets it right I'll pay him $10. If I can sell just two of these babies, less taxes and tithing, then I'll be set for life.


Also:  If you don't understand the Mike Brady reference, then I am very, very sorry for you.

  1. I would think the flower would have been the first clue! That just doesn't say Mayan to me..

  2. Mintifresh: That is exactly the response one would expect from the untrained eye. As it turns out, the ancient Mayans were unbelievers, and kinda sissy. All it took was a couple of Spanish Conquistadores with a head cold, and boom - genocide!

    They were also such an unbelieving people that they wouldn't take their ancient herbal Zicam at first sign of cold or flu.
