Clowns are terrifying, always. How many kids have to be traumatized before they fall out of fashion?

If you like museums, and you like reading/seeing things on a computer (as you are doing now, whoa!), you should go to MoOM, or the “Museum of Online Museums”. The MoOM has been featured on NPR’s “All Things Considered,” appeared in the NYT, and in other forms of media. There are dozens of galleries featured on MoOM, including some odd things you might be interested in. Such as The Squished Penny Museum, featuring collections of those souvenir smashed pennies. Or check out the Circus Historical Society Logo Collection, featuring logos of dozens of defunct circuses from a variety of locales. ITR isn’t as frequently updated on the weekends, so hopefully this will stave off one’s thirst for the curious.
