I really want to add how excited I was when CSI had a crime scene inside the 
Las Vegas Historical Society. (my heart jumped the second  they used finger 
print powder on those rare books.) Or when there was another Museum mystery 
on CSI where a traveling exhibit was exposed as a fake- the crime lab 
determined that the paint composition on a samuri sword was 
modern...scraping away layers to a fake weapon.

Cool...mixing my favorite things, museums and CSI!!!!
