I read with amusement about Anubis' odd appearance at the Dallas Forth Worth airport. If you read the story, you learn he is there temporarly to bring attention to the 'Tut show' that is now at the Dallas museum. (A twenty six foot tall Anubis statue was also used in the promos for the London Tut showing). But at first glance, it seems a bad omen, and perhaps Horus would be better for an airport, being winged and very much of this world. (You see, Anubis is the first god you see after you die.) And the candy cane addition is most amusing. Normally, if he's grasping a tool, it is the Was or the Adze, so he can do the 'opening of the mouth' ceremony: |

Imagine him holding the candy cane, instead. "Smell the peppermint! Don't you want to open your mouth for this?" Um, the adze has associations with Set, and this would be more effective, of course. But it all makes for an amusing chuckle.
