That was a fun article, although do people really criticize Indiana Jones for being an unrealistic portrayal of an archaeologist? Did anyone expect it to be accurate? Isn't that like expecting Superman to have an accurate portrayal of journalism? Indiana Jones is an "archaeologist" because "guy who goes on adventures to recover magical antiques" isn't really a job.
