Seeing this resolution to the mystery made my day. It's refreshing to see that all this buzz was the result of a glorious postal mishap, not a concerted effort to hijack our attention with a viral marketing stunt.
I was initially underwhelmed, but on second thought, it turns out that crazy, huge system of machines, trucks and humans that routes letters and packages around the country is pretty amazing. Going to go with damilocampos on this one.
Mildly disappointing ending to what I hoped to be some epic story/gimick/whatever.<p>Amusing that the USPS thought the vintage (fake) Egyptian postage was real though
How can the contents of a package "drop" out of the package and then be routed to the wrong place? Sounds like 18th century postal service going on there...
