Q: Is it true that Microsoft have code-named their new object-based 
operating system "Cairo" because, like the pyramids, it has been built to 
stand the test of time?

A: No, it's been codenamed "Cairo" because, like the pyramids, no-one can 
figure out why the hell they built it or what the hell purpose it serves.
