This un-proof read translation from a press release by an Israli Antiquities authority:
A salvage dig in Umm Sousaphone ( near Har Homa in Jerusalem ) unveilled a figure of seals from the clip of Ezekias, Rex of Judah ( Eighth century BCE ). Two of the seal notions belonged to Ahimelech ben Amadyahu and Yehohail ben Shahar. Four `` LMLK '' feelings on jar handgrips were found at the site. The opinions were noticed in a big edifice dating to the First and Sec Temple periods. The site was destruct during the Babylonian subjugation and reoccupied in the Hasmonean period.

(the site is actually called "Umm Tuba"... maybe should be a Sister City for Tuba City, AZ?

I have the synthetic version in Silestone - very nice colors (but hard to see grease spots - my wife now hates it!)
Uba Tuba looks a lot nicer than Tuba City!

One would be somewhere in the Philippines - where they drink something called Tuba (a coconut based moonshine) and maybe another wherever "Nip/Tuck" is supposed to be (T.U.B.A. )

And here:

Another would have to be the London Underground (The Tube) - there is even some software called:
"The TUBA" (Transport Users Benefit Appraisal) program is a matrix based computer program capable of appraising highway and/or public transport projects with fixed or variable trip matrices.

Indeed. Just wait until the google entries start popping up for this subject matter that the letters TUBA is an acronym: "trans-umbilical breast augmentation!"

Puts a whole 'nother spin on "BAT", doesn't it?
