Re: Friday topic- mummy on the Titanic?



I just did a search on altavista.com for +titanic +mummy and retrieved over 200 pages. I've only looked at a few, but they all refer to time and effort spent to debunk with phrases like "this myth that will not die."  

http://users.ev1.net/~jrev/mummy.htm

has an explanation of how this story got started. I have no idea of the authority level of the writers of any of these pages, but one of them talks about having to rebut this story over and over again on the Titanic e-mail list.

Thanks for giving me an entertaining search to run during my hour at the reference desk!
