They found *what* in those Roman graves
Ope, so here’s the thing, you wake up, you’re trying to enjoy your coffee from Spyhouse, maybe you're watching the sun come up over Lake Harriet, and then you read something like this. Archaeologists in Rome, they’re digging around this old necropolis, right? And they find three skeletons with *iron nails* hammered into their chests. Not just like, in the coffin, or around the body, but *into* the bodies. The experts are saying it was probably to keep restless spirits from, you know, wandering around and bothering people. Walaahi, can you even imagine? It's like, "Yeah, we buried Cousin Enzo, but just in case he gets any ideas, we gave him a little… permanent accessory."
Now, you know, we have our quirks here in Minneapolis. We’ve got the spoonbridge and cherry in the Sculpture Garden, which, you know, some folks think is a little odd, but it’s art! We don’t go around nailing things into our dearly departed, not even the ones who cheered for the Packers. Although, after some of those Vikings losses, I bet a few fans have felt like doing it to themselves. But seriously, it makes you think about all the strange ways people have tried to deal with grief and fear throughout history. Mashallah, what a way to try and keep the peace.
Ope, that's the real Minneapolis — stay warm out there.
