Who needs an osteologist? (Installment 38)
Memorial Day here in Pensacola starts the liminal week for the kids -- the time between when the school year ends and when summer camp begins. So I had a "staycation" entertaining them all week. On Friday, we went to the Exploreum science museum in Mobile and saw the IMAX movie Mummies: Secrets of the Pharaohs. It's pretty old (2007), so you can watch it on YouTube, but here's a screenshot of the part that made me laugh out loud in the theatre:

For what it's worth, well, it wasn't worth seeing this movie in IMAX. I thought it would have way more mummies and way more experts talking about what mummies can tell us. But it had one mummy. Had I known before I went in that it was a decade old, I would have passed on seeing it.
