What's inside me?
Well, this is strange.
Whilst on holiday in Egypt last year I bought two similar-looking cat statues. Each is about 5-1/2" high and a typical tourist souvenir. I'm certain I paid way too much, as well. But that's not the odd thing.
I X-Rayed the statues. One looked exactly as I'd expect; the other was ... different. It had lumps of "something" inside. I have no idea what. You can't see anything from the outside - there are no tell-tale lumps and bumps - and the X-Rays, from two different directions, make it quite clear that they are lumps of something deep within, not (say) an unevenly applied layer of metallic paint.
I really don't know what's going on. I absolutely don't want to break the statue open to find out its secret, and yet it intrigues me.
I very much doubt it's any kind of interesting illegal substance; it's more likely to be pebbles or something, but I can't imagine why it only partly fills the cavities like that.
Has anyone got any ideas? Comments are warmly invited.
