@ehswan OMG!!! I certainly hope that the educated scientists at that museum will help the children to overcome the tradition and ignorance that pervades your home state. Someone needs to teach them how dangerous it is to play with dinosaurs!!!

A seriously under viewed film. A beer to Steinback.

Thank you for this presentation of how difficult it is to over come tradition and ignorance.

I can present you with an even worse example in my home state of Kentucky. As we are cursed with a creationist museum that features children playing with dinosaurs.
