With the afternoon off and no class the next day, some of us decided to do some exploring at the famous museum of natural history. We got a little lost (and very wet) on the way there, but we finally found the famous museum. It hosted the first debate on evolution in 1860...but the room it took place in is now for storage. So once we found it, it was straight to the rumored shrunken heads!
Indubitably.

While in search of some quality Oxford apparel later that day, I found this sign. Any idea what a 'rising bollard' is?
