Maybe it is a good idea, after all, to be afraid of snakes:

Egypt on Saturday unveiled six antiquities � dating back thousands of years � that were returned from North America, including a snake statuette that a Canadian woman gave away because she felt a Pharaonic curse had entered her house.[...]

The returned statuette of Hathor � the goddess of love and motherhood � has the body of a cobra and the head of a woman. It dates from 1550 B.C.

Hawass said it had been in the possession of a Canadian woman who believed her home had become haunted by the statue….

Let that be a lesson to you: don’t piss off Venomous women. Meanwhile, if you are interested in having a non-haunted priestess of Hathor of your very own to lust after and admire, be sure to check out Skin #3 in the Skins Gallery, located on the right-hand sidebar.
