The distant dunes stood like sentinels to a group of men as they toiled relentlessly in an arid landscape that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Humming an ancient tune on their lips, they thrusted their spades into the ground in unison, oblivious to the beads of sweat that shimmered on their sinewy backs.

Now we have light!
Even as we speak, Abdul Al-Avogadro, who has been forced to drop Chemistry by his teacher many years ago, is now looking for boiling chips for his makeshift experimental setup to try to distill water to quench his thirst!

OMG I think we’ve just made the archaeological find of the 30th Century!
With that, Professor Loi and her expedition leader rushed out of the tent.
