Two Museums Guaranteed to Fluor You

I've been horribly neglecting this space for an extended period.  Contributors to that include a TNG eclosing from high school, ferrying grandparents, a milestone (or is it millstone?) birthday and a 10 day vacation with poor Internet service.  Oh yeah, another one of those starts Thursday.  Then there's keeping the genome factory going -- at times I feel like a worker in Fritz Lang's Metropolis.  But someone even noticed and emailed me today whether this hiatus would end, which is beyond reason enough to get going.  But tonight's entry has nothing really to do with biology or genomics, but rather hearkens back to the first science I fell for.
