Egypt in New Orleans

Apparently Egyptians (or depending on you view, aliens) also lived and died in New Orleans. If he'd had a little more time, Foo would have broken in and seen if he could find any of that gold he's heard about. But he didn't want to risk running into a cursed mummy when it was nearly time to hit the road again.

The Montresor Method

Foo was interested to find that this was the "oldest extant wall vault" kind of grave known to exist in New Orleans. Apparently people like to bury people in walls.... just like Montresor in the Cask of Amontillado. Foo wonders if you press your ear to the wall if Fortunato's bells will still jingle.

What Are You Looking at?

Everywhere around Abraham Lincoln's tomb were statues of men pointing and looking off into the distance. He figured whatever they were looking at must be good because they never looked away. Try as he might (for as long as could be tolerated), Foo looked and looked, but just didn't get it.

Luck of the Lincoln

Foo wanted to say goodbye to Illinois the right way by stopping in the state capital of Springfield to say adieu to Abe and rub his nose for good luck!

After that, he explored the rest of the gravesite and tomb to make sure Abraham Lincoln wasn't a zombie.
