"The Egyptians considered the heart to be the seat of the soul, so it
was the only organ not removed from the body. The brain was not
preserved (it was held to be only responsible for producing mucus),
but instead was liquefied and completely drained from the corpse
through the nostrils."

This sort of reminds me of when David Letterman referred to sinus
infections and the associated mucus as one's nose producing all sorts
of "petroleum products".
If that were the case, I'm sure I could single-handedly solve the
current gasoline crisis.

I've often wished for a market for mucus. A mucus market.
