[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]I can't believe we haven't discussed this yet. For those who have been living in a cave -- or perhaps a pyramid -- in 1998 Ben Carson gave a speech in which he said:

"My own personal theory is that Joseph built the pyramids to store grain. Now all the archeologists think that they were made for the pharaohs’ graves. But, you know, it would have to be something awfully big if you stop and think about it. And I don’t think it’d just disappear over the course of time to store that much grain."

Okay, okay. This was 1998 and who among us has not articulated our own personal theory about the pyramids (yes, normally in different circumstances then a speech, but still). So, certainly by now Carson has evolved on this issue, right? Wrong. Asked about his theory yesterday, he said:

"It's still my belief, yes. The pyramids were made in a way that they had hermetically sealed compartments. You would need that if you were trying to preserve grain for a long period of time."

For those who may not be up on their pyramidology, other than the burial chambers, the pyramids are solid. The Egyptians also had grain silos which were used, surprisingly enough, to store grain.

Here's my take on this man, Jeff:

Neurosurgeons are like CEO's in the sense that NOONE argues with them in " their OR "and families get down on their knees and kiss their feet in gratitude

In this way, a reasonably smart med student develops , over the course of a few decades , a bit of a "know it all complex", ala Trump

No one has said " no" to Ben Carson in a long time and , yes, he is daily ruining his reputation as more and more people begin to laugh at him ( behind his back of coarse)
