Chuma the Mummy
In Thier Time: The anciet Egyptians had a bizarre way of decorating their homes. They made mummies out of their loved ones. It would spruce the place up, the family could see their passed on family member, and the family saved a lot of money on decoration costs. But then the mummy would inevitably start to smell something alwful and the family would have to bury the mummy, or if you were a rich family, build a pyramid for the person’s eternal slumber.
Our Weirdo: Chuma the Mummy wasn’t a mummy, but he pretended to be one. He didn’t have a fascination with death, but Chuma did have a fascination with money. At first he pretended to be a mummy to scare his friends, but then he realized that people would go running every time they saw him stumbling about. So Chuma went to a bank, and to his delight, everyone ran, leaving the money up for grabs.
