Old things. That's what you expect when you go to a museum of natural history. Or actually, any museum for that matter. And that's just what we found when we trotted down to the Carnegie Museum of Natural History today.D and C and myself had a great time. Lots of dinosaur fossils and reconstructed T-Rexes, old dead fish in rocks, and lots of "Cast of ...." old things from Greece. I thought they were real and started snapping away with my bulky digital camera until D wisely pointed out that they were "Casts of ..." meaning quite simply, they were fake. I felt like an idiot and we promptly left that section!
They even have an art museum attached to this old things place of natural history, and in this art museum we saw something very odd. A dead stuffed cat standing on its hind legs holding a placard. But alas, this poor feline was not protesting the war in Iraq or rising oil prices, no. This poor feline - who had obviously just used up its ninth life - was holding a placard that simply read, "I'M DEAD!". Just in case you couldn't tell.
Bizarre. But interesting.
