1. Yay museum. Though the chances of me ever getting to see this one are slim.

2. On the newest Indiana Jones movie:

"Instead of fighting Nazis, Indy will spend a good portion of the movie working to accumulate sufficient grants for his field excavations."

"Following the roughly five minutes of the movie devoted to the dig will be an hour and a half long exploration of Indy’s laboratory analysis and publications. Assisting Indy in this work instead of some runaway Asian child will be a series of underpaid and often overworked graduate students, hoping to get their names down as coauthors."

(From here.)

3. Pirate jokes, anyone?

My favorite, of course:

Q: What's a pirate's favorite aspect of computational linguistics?
A: PARRRsing sentences.


4. I want one! (Of course.)

5. Can one actually make money doing this? I mean, it's really cool, but...crayons? Fine art?
