     I think Eric is right about using some levity in exhibits to get
people interested, *especially* kids.  My fiance was a docent at the
Natural History museum in Ann Arbor, MI, and used to give tours to
school groups.  When showing smaller children around, he'd go to the
"hands-on" drawer and pull out a particular fossil.  He would hand it
around to each kid and tell them, "this is what scientists call a
'coprolite'.  Can anyone guess what that means?"  And invariably
after taking a look at it, one child would scream "Dinosaur poo!"
    Sure got their attention....:)
