Satirical article, but a rather good one.

Pandora’s box, previously thought to be mythical, was recently found in the vaults of the British Museum along with a note saying ‘For goodness sake, do not open this!’ in ancient Greek.

 

Uncertainty about whether to open the box has led the government to leave the decision to the public, after brief ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ campaigns.

 

Sales manager Donna Sheridan said: “The so-called experts say the box is full of evil, but in my experience boxes are usually full of chocolates or shoes.

 

“I say open it, because these ‘experts’ are probably just after lucrative research grants like they got for making up global warming and polar bears.”

"A government spokesman said Pandora’s Box would be opened by David Cameron during an extended edition of The National Lottery Live featuring The Saturdays"

 

I say do it

Can only hope it goes off like the one in Raiders of the Lost Ark!
