Other natural objects in the ex hibit include a mammoth’s tooth compared to a rodent’s tooth and a scale model of a pre-historic animal compared to a picture of the actu al size. Underwood said some of the ob jects are on loan, while others be long to the museum. “These things were just made by people who were interested as a hob by. “So it turned out really well that they can turn their hobby into some thing that is interesting to others.” The exhibit also has many hands on activities for children. “Tiny Town” and “Toddler Park” are two areas where children can play with trucks, go-carts, dollhouses and a barn with plastic animals and trnr'l/’c “There are a lot of hands-on things here for kids, but adults can relate to some of the miniatures things, too. “It’s a real family thing.

Chances are no one can. Due to no fault of their own, Ger mans are only good at two things: causing wars and engineering. So when I heard the band Couch is from Germany, I already knew they would be horrible. The members of the band, Micheal Heilrath, Thomas Geltinger and Stefanie Bohm, didn’t let me or my ethnocentric comment down. For the fortunate few who haven’t listened to this CD, entitled “Fanta sy,” let me prepare them for the big letdown. The whole album has no words. And no, it’s not techno, which is drum machine music with no words to dance by. It’s actually reguhar modem rock music missing words. All the songs have decent melodies, but they lack words. In fact, the whole album is like listening to a PlayStation game and not being able to see the televi sion. Here’s a little advice for the band: go out, find a singer, write down some words and make a new CD. Without any words, the band sounds like elevator music or, worse yet, like some kind of screwed up rock V roll/classical music mix of crap.
