"Clever Girl" Or "I Need An Adult!"

To quote the guy at 1:10, come on, eat one.

(thanks for the tip, Spencer)

People worry that kids are becoming saturated with media and information at such a young age that they're forgetting how to be kids, so it's nice to see that at least one museum has decided to put some childlike wonder back in their hearts. Namely, the childlike wonder of having pissed yourself. All that precocious posturing and false independence evaporates when you find yourself needing to clutch onto the pant leg of a human being four times your size, who you suddenly remember is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY for your survival because Baby Einstein sure as hell isn't going to help you. I've been to a legitimate college and dress myself almost every day, and even I think that dinosaur is fucking scary.

That creeped me out. I totally would love and hate to see that in person. I want to be the guy who wets himself after seeing that.

We have a bunch of photos from my 1st grade field trip to the museum where I'm scared out of my mind, sobbing at the dinosaur exhibit being forced to pose with all of my seemingly not frightened classmates in front of every single dinosaur.

And those things barely moved, and were behind barriers. Now when I go see this thing, I'll be able to control myself enough to wait to cry in the bathroom.

I think this is from the "walking with dinosaurs exhibit" (google it). You can see the guys legs sticking out from the bottom of the dino costume, so there's someone inside controlling all the movements. It's still pretty amazing, very life-like. Scaring the crap out of kids would be a pretty fun job.
