A silver Lemmy funko pop.

Have some Lemmy Silver (for being just a minute late)

My phone can emulate only a fraction of your power.

On my screen, I was actually 2 min earlier, but thanks for the silver kind stranger!

I'd give you Lemmy Gold too but that seems weirdly redundant...?

Wasn't sure if this was real or just for the memes, but it's legit: Khnumhotep and Niankhkhnum - Wikipedia

I just finished Bob Brier's History of Ancient Egypt lecture series and he talked about this. They were the chief manicurists to the pharaoh. The lectures are over a decade old but really good - his enthusiasm for the subject is contagious.

Lavernhotep and Shirlankhum.

Lennsies II and Squigmose I.
