There she lay for the next 2,000 years--first in Egypt and then for the past 80 years or so in the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum in San Jose, Calif. But for several months, the girl--who has been nicknamed Sherit, an ancient Egyptian word meaning "little one"--has been visiting the Stanford-NASA National Biocomputation Center in nearby Palo Alto. There, doctors and other scientists, working with imaging experts from Silicon Graphics, have been unwrapping her--not physically, which would cause enormous damage, but virtually. Using more than 60,000 high-resolution X-ray images from scans that produce...

You can talk about it in resonant slang whose references to half pipes and acid drops, crackin' Ollies and catchin' air can be as arcane as a Rosicrucian oath.
