You Decide!

The mummy of Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses II is seen on display in the Hall of Mummies at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo April 10, 2007. Strands of hair from Ramses' head came home to Egypt after the son of a French laboratory worker tried to sell them on the Internet, the state news agency MENA said. An Egyptian archaeological mission had flown to Paris to bring home the strands, apparently taken from the mummy of Ramses when it went to France for treatment in the 1970s.

BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany's celebrity polar bear cub Knut has received an anonymous death threat, causing alarm at Berlin Zoo on Thursday and prompting heightened security.

Top-selling Bild newspaper said the zoo had received a hand-written fax from a suspected animal hater with the words: "Knut is dead! Thursday midday."

But that deadline came and went safely for media star Knut, who has been on newspaper front pages around Germany and the world for weeks. "He is safe and in good spirits," said zoo official Ragnar Kuehne after the time had passed.
