This brings up an interesting related topic. About ten years ago, The
Provincial Museum in Victoria, B.C. opened an exhibit called "Oceans",
which had a storyline element very similar to what is done in some theme
parks. The storyline was introduced on Video while the visitors are waiting
in line to go through the exhibit in small groups. As I recall, you ride in
a couple of submarines and enter darkened areas where you watch as the
story of the cycle of life in the oceans is presented.
This exhibit has been criticized for being too Disneyesque, but I think it
was an interesting experiment at utilizing theme park technology to catch
peoples interest on a more serious topic: conservation of the worlds
oceans.
 
May the great worm of enlightenment prosper in the compost pit of your mind.
