Also went to the Museum of Natural History. I noticed they neglected to mention how UFOs built the pyramids. I thought that was pretty important. Anyway, I really like aquatic life, I don't know why. Fish with lights on them, fish with mouths bigger than their bodies, jellyfish are way cool. If I could be reincarnated, it would be as a jellyfish, or a seahorse. (Thank you Devendra Banhart). I also learned that there were some pretty legit ways to get water in Africa before there was... people anywhere else. Like you dig a giant hole with a giant wheel and the cattle pulls the wheel which makes the pots go in a circle and pick up the water. The moral of the story is that if I lived in prehistoric Africa, I would not make it. Then we saw a space show with supernovas and stuff... narrated by Whoopi Goldberg. It was awesome and disorienting. I'm holding out for commercial spaceflight.
Later.
Like Christine and I said, today we know how to use things but we don't know how they work. We definitely would not have made it way back in the day.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm still very sad we didn't get to see the butterfly exhibit. My want to see that was parallel to your want of seeing fish. :(
