I'm always taken how driving around the countryside you find that every small
town has a NATIONAL museum. National Museum of Flashlight Batteries, National
Museum of Dental Science, National Museum of Paper Cups, National Museum of
Dancing Termites, etc. Heritage tourism has gone mad. Thus the inspiration for
Gabriel Orgrease's Outhouse Theme Park.

Oh.  Here in Raleigh, we have the North Carolina State Museum of NATURAL Sciences, fabulous new building being constructed right across from the chunky new North Carolina State Museum of History building.  All this time I thought it was the Museum of NATIONAL Sciences.  I've been waiting around outside for a chance to meet Tesla, but it hadn't happened yet.  Your post made me look more closely.  This news has struck me like a bolt of lightning.
