Weirdest thing that you have ever done?

I once held a mummified head. My professor was the keeper of the skeletal collection at the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology in Philadelphia. She invited the class to visit one morning before it opened. We toured the private study areas downstairs and saw all sorts of things. Besides passing around a head like a basketball*, I also picked up a plastic-wrapped, mummified, fully grown woman. It was like lifting a piece of Styrofoam.



* We didn't actually throw it, just sat in a circle and handed it to the next person after studying it.
