CNN ran a segment this weekend about an Inca "mummy," a young prince who was
drugged and buried alive in a mountain tomb.  According to the interviewed
scientists, the boy is not dead, though his shriveled body is on display in a
glass case!  Because of the drugs, they said, the boy went to sleep and slowly
cooled until his body was frozen.  The commentator even went so far as to state
that medical science might some day be able to bring the "mummy" back to life.

If this is as farfetched as it sounds to me, one must wonder what drugs these
South American doctors have been taking!
