To examine it as an experience.  On the one hand I find myself put off by the disingenuity of fake pyramids and volcanos, but on the other it's that over-the-top, godzilla-sized wax museum effect that doesn't exist anywhere else in the world that gives me the same curiosity that G had when she watched the Discovery Health episode of an obese person having a tumor removed.  Seems like it would be worth a photo study. posted in [home], [snippets] 8:06:34 PM    comment [] No Doubt On This One For a person like me, there is rarely any total commitment on a question thrown my way.  It's a bunch of caveats or disclaimers or explanations.  Or I don't answer...
