    I used to work for an airline. For fun I flew up to see this museum. Marvin was still alive then and I met the man. He was so happy that someone flew from so far away just to see him and his oddities that he gave me a guided tour and all he asked was that I sign his book. One of the nicest people I have ever met in my life. I didn't spend a quarter but I bought tshirts from him to remember the trip by. I still have that great Tshirt and the great memory of meeting him. Thank you Jacob for stopping in. I know Marvin would have treated you well if he were still around.

    The Green Cross Code is a road safety measure created in the UK to help remind people to cross the road safely. They even had a series of PSAs promoting it starring David Prowse, the actor who played Darth Vader, as Green Cross Man, teaching kids proper road crossing safety.
