I remember taking an Earth Science class in high school (or was it middle school?) but I don’t think the Museum of Earth History has anything to do with science…or truth for that matter. This little Creationist museum, first located in Arkansas before moving to its present day location in...
After yesterday’s visit to Barcelona, we now travel to another part of the world with a guest post written by shuraiya, one of my earliest followers on tumblr. I always notice and appreciate every one of her likes, reblogs, and replies so I am more than happy that she has...
The other day I was sitting in a city park trying to unwind after a long work day. Although there were typical city noises in the background, like the sirens of fire engines and the buzzing of air conditioners, I was mostly left alone to read my book in peace....
Patti Smith once sang in the song Gloria these immortal words: “Jesus died for somebody’s sins but not mine.” Well, today is the day, guys. On Wednesday I told you about some bronze statues peeing outside the Kafka Museum. But now I have a completely different collection of sculptures for...

Right outside Tokyo, in the town of Saitama, is a museum called the Hall of Curious Rocks. The museum’s founder was a rock collector for over fifty years. He was drawn to unusual and rare rocks. Ultimately his collection numbered over 1,700 stones, but what makes this museum so interesting...
Over the last few months the old inbox has received a number of interesting submissions*, so I thought I’d get around to sharing them with you. Let’s start with the Ralph Foster Museum at the College of the Ozarks in Point Lookout, Missouri. Locally known as “The Smithsonian of the...
With earlier posts about Korea’s Penis Park and Prague’s Sex Machines Museum, it should come as no surprise that this dirty little ol’ blog is now telling you about the Phallic Shrine in Bangkok. In the heart of the city right behind the five star luxury hotel Swissotel Nai Lert...
