Because some people just don't appreciate art . . .On Wednesday, workers erected a 26-foot tall, seven-ton replica of Anubis, the Egyptian god of the dead, adjacent to the main terminal. The statue is here to promote the upcoming King Tut exhibit at the Denver Art Museum.
According to one web site, Anubis is the "jackal-god of mummification," and "assisted in the rites by which a dead man was admitted to the underworld."
"If it's the god of death, I wouldn't exactly be putting it in front of the airport," said passenger Keith Mears.
For Josh Meyers, it wasn't very reassuring either.
"I don't like flying to begin with," he said. "It's kind of weird, especially being at an airport. Bad voodoo."
They say it is bad luck to see a priest on an airline flight, based upon the old superstition that a cleric on a ship was bad luck. Me, I look for them. Listen, Fadduh, we gotta make this quick, 'cause we're going down fast, but I am really, really sorry for that incident last week, okay? I can get some absolution, like, NOW?!?!
