          I say a great Charles Adams exhibit at the New York Public
          Library. I also must say that it was one of the most closely
          examined exhibits I've ever been to. People were *so* into
          it. What is it about humour that makes people become so
          engaged. Why do museums never (almost never?) use humour in
          their "serious" exhibits to engage people. I mean,
          particularly kid's exhibits would benefit from the a bit of
          levity.
 
          There's a great new consultancy for you! Get yourself hired
          as the part of the exhibit team responsible for injecting
          some *humor* into the exhibit. Talk about an invaluable
          member of the planning team...
