"pellow" and "melk"

[Tom Zurinskas]

No joke.  Saw about deciphering Egyption writing on the history channel a
few days ago.  Basically the frenchman had the theory that the signs stood
for sounds and tried for 20 years to proove it.  One day he got it and went
to his brother and collapsed on the floor.  Came to a few days latter and
showed  his findings.
