Once lived in an apartment full of cockroaches, which was like that from the moment I moved in, so I have a special place in my heart for exterminators. My mind is still ingrained with the image of a bunch of dead roaches stuck to an adhesive trap being pulled...
In America, today is the deadline for filing your taxes with the IRS. I don’t know if there is a tax museum, but trust me, even an accountant doesn’t want to go to that shit. So the next best thing is a taxidermy museum. We’ve covered it here before many,...

On this date in 1881 U.S. President James A. Garfield died of wounds suffered during a shooting from a few months before. He holds the record for the second shortest presidency (just 200 days) and as one of four presidents to be assassinated. Garfield’s killer, Charles J. Guiteau, lives on…or...

One of my earliest posts, which was nothing more than a random photo, was on the Lunchbox Museum. And so here I am again four years later posting another random photo from the place. Maybe I got lunch on my mind…or maybe it’s Georgia…I don’t know? Located in the Rivermarket...
I wanted to find a museum with a beautiful name and I think I found it with the Museum of Enduring Beauty in Melaka, Malaysia. Beautification started in the Medieval Ages and continues to this day. The museum was created in 1996 to bring “awareness of the different viewpoints held...
American Telephone Purse, 1980 (it actually works…ahead of its time) Sorry that I’ve been missing for nearly a week. Even though I’m female, I’m not much of a shopper of anything and that includes clothes, shoes and purses. But I never said I was a normal female. But if I...
