 @19bcf1ed 

But can he Walk Like an Egyptian?

“This is where they made the mummies, old boy!”
Minimus has been watching too many movies! (Although: Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz, who can blame him?!)

I definitely missed out on PlayMobil when I was a kid…

 @19bcf1ed Minimus: "Yay, done!"

(distant rumbling)

(a giant spherical boulder, straight out of Indiana Jones, rolls towards him through a corridor)

Minimus: Aaah!

(he dives through the entrance to the tomb just in time)

(Minima is there, looking annoyed)

Minimus: Where did I go wrong? I didn't do anything irritating, I befriended him before he died and mummified him.

Minima: Dangit, didn't you read the warning carefully? It didn't say "NOLI IRRITARE LEONES." It said "NOLI CONDIRE LEONES".
