Those of you who read our blog daily may well solve today’s Brain Game puzzle fairly quickly. Jason mentioned this movie title earlier this week; it’s one in which a back issue of mental_floss gets some screen time. And if you ever wondered if your secret interest in ancient Egyptian mythology would ever pay off, today’s your day. Good luck!

HERE is the solution.
I was cool with everything ’til the purr. Couldn’t figure out what a sleeping cat would have in a cartoon bubble.
These are …horrible. And horribly amusing.

I got it, but egads, can we add an extra really or two to the title, or maybe change bad to awful? I feel so dirty for getting this. Now I have send the link to my friends so I can brag and deepen my shame/triumph hibrid.

That’s supposed to be a ski? I thought it was a scalpel. I didn’t get Isis from that picture either. Trying to read that threw me way off.

Not only did I think the ski was a knife, I thought the oar was a spatula. However, I did get Isis, for all the good it did me. . . .
