Just loan the Rosetta Stone, eh? Then they'll give it back? I hope the British Museum remembers the Ptolemys, who asked the kings of the Hellenistic world to loan them rare manuscripts so that they could be copied for the Library. Thay'd send back the originals, no fooling, honest Injun and cross my heart. Of course, the original owners invariably got a copy and the Ptolemys kept the originals.
Pecunia non olet
