THAT should be in the Smithsonian, in the pop culture exhibit in the Natural History Museum. We should all be able to see it rather than sitting in a box in someone’s house…

Gerry: I fully agree. Unless someone wants to buy it for me for Christmas, in which case no one can see it because I’ll be busy waving its arms around and going “RRAAAARGH!”
