The plan was perfect.
“Dismantling the Egyptian pyramids seems like a difficult task,” said Phil, “but we can certainly accomplish it.”
Phil paused for a moment, this was the biggest presentation he had ever given, and honestly he was a little nervous. He looked out over the crowd, and tried to control his racing pulse. Taking a deep breath, he continued on.
“It will take seven years to assemble the cranes which will be used to move the stones. Laying the explosives will take an additional five years. There’s going to be a lot of chiseling. We will be digging a canal to the base of the pyramids, and the stone which we remove will be placed on barges. These barges will carry the stone far out into the ocean, where the stone will be dumped.”
“All told we have seven engineering crews working on this project around the clock, and the heads of those crews will each be giving presentations on this subject over the next couple of days. Are there any questions?”
A hand in the back of the room lifted timidly.
“Yes, you in the back.”
“Um, uh, why are we trying to dismantle the pyramids?”

I think they should plan to dump them in the Red Sea. And that way Moses could just walk across next time and not have to part the waters.
That’s a brilliant plan.
There’s always one in every crowd, ain’t there?
Sometimes even two.
Perfection lives outside the phenomenon of purpose.
True words of wisdom.
All of it is explained in Quentin Meillassoux’s “After Finitude: An Essay On The Necessity Of Contingency”, now available on Amazon.
That river truly does bear all gifts.
If a job’s not worth doing it’s still worth doing it well
Haha.
Who hired that guy?
Smart people. Lolz.
Your blog name is misleading. This isn’t dumb 😄
Haha, thanks.
Genius.
1. If the pyramids were constructed by aliens, then we definitely don’t want them to think that we like a part of their culture.
2. Were the builders properly paid? Did they do so on their own volition? I think we’ll need to look into their descendants and ask some difficult questions.
Absolutely valid points. Shortly after I wrote this it occurred to me that I could imagine certain elements of woke culture opting to cancel the pyramids.
Has the schedule been adjusted for social distancing of workers, and will they need to sign agreements not to sue. Secondly, will all explosives used be environmentally friendly.
I appreciate your concern. All efforts have been taken to ensure the physical well-being of our workers and the general well-being of the global environment. If you need more specific information I would direct you to our Vice-president for environmental impact issues, as well as our health and human resources department.
There’s always one. *eyeroll*
I’m sorry, did you have a question? Yes, you there, in the back.
