That last post went over so well that I feel the need to redeem myself. How about something truly one of a kind? The One and Only Presidential Museum (yep, that is the actual name of the place) in Williamsburg, Ohio is the brainchild of the one and only Nick...
Even though I’ve been to Whitby, I’m sad to say I have never seen the “Hand of Glory”. On display at the Whitby Museum (it’s even on the freakin’ entrance sign), this mummified severed human hand was discovered hidden in the wall of a nearby thatched cottage over a hundred...
As 2011 comes to an end and we enter our last year on Earth (the Mayans were conspiracy theorists) let’s give a shout out to the museums of the past. By past, I mean dead, no longer exist, gone to museological heaven…or something like that. One museum I wished had...
The world did not end this weekend, which is good for one reason alone…you now have more time to visit museums. If we had all died, do you know how weird it would have been to see all the empty roads and abandoned cars? Well, actually no one would be...
Betty and Barney Hill claimed a mysterious UFO’s extraterrestrial crew accosted, kidnapped, examined and released them in rural New Hampshire. Known as the Hill Abduction, it was the first ever widely-publicized claim of alien abduction. Whether you believe in aliens or not, it is a fact that Betty Hill’s notes,...
I know plenty of crazies who should be locked away and never heard from again. Or better yet, maybe I can take all my favorite nutcases under false pretenses to the Stephen Beaumount Museum of Mental Health in England, and, you know, just leave them there. This place tells the...
Have you ever heard of Emmett Till? On this date fifty-seven years ago, 14 year old Till was beaten, tortured and shot in the head for allegedly whistling and/or flirting at a white woman while visiting his uncle in Mississippi. The white men who killed him weighed down his body...
Back in September I told you about Barney Smith’s Toilet Seat Art Museum in San Antonio. Well, it looks like Barney has some competition. San Francisco’s Isotope Comics has its own version of a toilet seat art museum. Started in 2002, there are now hundreds of cartoon toilet canvases created...
Although these presidential-related posts have not proved to be as popular as I thought they’d be (maybe I should have included a tax refund?), I might as well finish what I started. So let’s continue with the Presidents’ Day posts, you know, learning about the forty-four men who got to...
Yesterday was Presidents’ Day in the good ol’ United States of America, which means you’re supposed to learn a few things about the forty-four men who got to call themselves commander-in-chief. So let’s continue where we left off (check out Part 1 & Part 2 in case you missed them)!!!...
I’ve been trying to avoid the Museum of Bad Art since I started THIS BELONGS IN A MUSEUM. But considering this month is about all things scary, there’s nothing worse than bad art, especially clown paintings. I know clowns have a bad association with serial killers, but I am always...
To the nearly 100,000 strangers who “read” this blog (besides the 2 or 3 people I know in real life, you know, that thing that exists outside the internet) I have something to share with you - I LOVE COWS! I am so obsessed I even have a cow tattoo....
