When I was a kid I was Executive Director of The Nation Museum of Deformed
Cheerios. At first it was just a personal passtime, but after a show & tell
session in Mrs. Zerflew's third grade class the museum expanded wonderfully as
my classmates contrubuted to the collection and the NMDC was established. In
later years the NMDC was absorbed by the World-Wide Unusual Foods Consotium.
