7: Silent letters in Egyptian names

So I don't think I have to start here, but I will.
The ancient Egyptian alphabet was different than ours. Here is a cute site that talks about how Egyptian names work. Here are some ancient Egyptian names:

• Tutankhamun, pronounced "toot in common." You know, the way Tutankamun would be pronounced. I am not going to debate the use of "u" instead of "oo" or anything, because some linguist knows what they are doing, but I don't think they are doing anything with that "h." Go ahead. Try to pronounce the "h."
• Horus-Netjerikhet. Again. Go ahead. Try and pronounce all of those letters. This guy's name can also be spelled Dsr, or Djoser, or pretty much any other way you feel like. Look it up. The list goes on and on.
• Serekh and Sekhemkhet, again with the "h," but now you must concede any hope that it affects the way the "a" is pronounced.
• Ptah, pronounced "Pitah" Ok, so I can see why they wouldn't want to carve an extra letter into stone, but these days we are talking about hitting one more key on a key board when typing this guys name. If we are willing to type out the 17 key monstrosity up there, why does this guy not rate the time to type an "i."
• Nakhtnebtepnefer. I'll stop there.

Thing is, there is no reason we need to have such crazy spellings for these names. The modern spelling of these names is, well, modern. Someone read the hieroglyphics less than 200 years ago and then wrote down his best approximation of the name in his own alphabet. This alphabet is not perfect, but it has an only slightly stupid list of rules. None of these rules say "and every 3rd letter you must have an 'h'." or "consonant Tourettes for all!"
Ok, maybe they have trouble writing a sound that ancient Egyptians used but we have long since forgotten, but I cannot believe that this is the case when they write "khtn" up there. Something is being pronounced that is not written or something is written that is not pronounced. For that guys sake, I hope the latter.

6: dehydrated skim milk

Milk, I learned in science class is just small beads of oil suspended in water. I was fine with this at the time, but at some point it began to really bug me because in my mom's basement is a box of dehydrated skim milk.
Well I'm no mathematician, but I think if you take water + oil and then you subtract the water and subtract the fat you should be left with nothing.
Actually, I lied. I am a mathematician and I know this to be true: x+y-x-y=0. Unless milk lives in some noncommutative universe of cooking ingredients! Maybe that's it and I am just using the wrong operation. If you think about how they blend it really seems more like multiplication anyhow. We just need to account for the fact that volume is additive in this situation and... and...
We still live in the real world.
It should have been a box of air.

5: Sentiments that sound absurd coming from a woman

1. Its his fault, coming in here with those arms practically bursting from his t-shirt.

When I interact with a sexy man, the conversation feels awkward. I feel guilty for not being able to keep my mind on Calculus or groceries or whatever I am supposed to be doing. When I day dream about sex, I internally apologize to the man in my dream for using his body like that without his even knowing!
When I interact with a man who finds me attractive and the conversation is awkward, I feel guilty for wearing something that shows some cleavage (because what doesn't when you are this big) or for being too flirtatious and not keeping the conversation on Calculus or groceries.

Ok. Nothing ever comes of any of this, so I should not be feeling guilt for either situation, but since men insist on blaming women for their own sexiness* I think I should at least be able to return the favor and complain when an attractive man wears jeans that cup his backside just so... It's not my fault. He was asking for it. Did you see what he was wearing?!

*If you disagree with the idea that men still blame women for their sexiness, then tell me why we need separate dress codes for different genders? Why is low cut only inappropriate if there is something to show off? Why do we have to cover up our bra straps? Why can children dress indecently and be cute and right around 13 it becomes wrong to dress that way? Why is it indecent to breast feed in public. Even if you are a man who does not think these things, you must know a man who does.
