That was a Facebook status update I posted on April 14 at 9:08pm.Ian Wood has managed to get his head stuck in a 3,600-year old Sumerian pot that was manufactured in Larsa during the reign of Rim-Sin I. This is much worse than it sounds, because the pot is priceless and therefore he must extract his head without breaking it. He is pleased that he can touch type.
There seemed to be more to it, so I turned that snippet into a 750-word short and sent it off to Chris Monks at McSweeney's.
Short story shorter: he took it, and it will be on the site in a few weeks. He didn't even tell me to stop bothering him! My plan, she worked. I'll post a link when it's up.
Now I must see if I can do the same thing to Lee Klein...
BITCHIN! Can't wait to read it :)
