I love this thread. I really and truely do.

You reminded me that I've touched the skull of a T. Rex. And it wasn't just any T. Rex but Sue's at the Field Museum here in Chicago. Add to that the fact that I was hammered at the time and that there's a picture one of my friends has of me with my head in the mouth, and it was a pretty damn good time.

Other things from the Field - dodo (dead), flesh-eating beetle (alive), fossil of a 700 or 800 million year old snail (thrown at my head by the head of the department) and many many beer cans.

A very good friend of mine from college worked there for a while, and workers have a happy hour every Friday in one of the 3rd floor classrooms. We used to go all the time and I still have a bunch of friends that work there.
