Dear Culverite (note the similarity to Cuylerite - I'm called Culver all the
time in spite of a 1600's connection to New Amsterdam and Cuyler, New York),

Indeed, the Museum of Jurasic Technology is worth a visit!   Although it may
be the smallest museum in the world, plan for several hours of mind teasing
and museo-refreshment.   The very literate web site www.mjt.org provides a
good idea of the place, but the precious three dimensional experience can
never be replicated here on the screen.   A stated purpose of MJT is to
provide "a hands-on experience of "life in the Jurassic"."

In particular, take a look at Geofrey Sonnabend's very Bullimankic "Theory
of Obliesence" based on the premise "We, amnesiacs all, condemned to live in
an eternally fleeting present, have created the most elaborate of human
constructions, memory, to buffer ourselves against the intolerable knowledge
of the irreversible passage of time and the irretrieveability of its moments
and events."

What is it about Culver that produces such wonderful oddities?   Mind you,
there is also a firm Nebraska connection in there too.
