What you're seeing is one of the many samples that the Angela Marmont Centre for UK Biodiversity gets day in day out. Essentially, this is a centre within the Natural History Museum that acts as an accessible expertise base for all things flora, fauna, and fossilized in the United Kingdom. Kind of like a place where the public can bring stuff in for identification, hang out with scientists, link up with other amateur naturalists, and even help out in a number of open air laboratory outreach projects (also known as OPAL).

Date: 2010-10-09 06:08 am (UTC)I'm so disappointed in Mike Warnke. I grew up idolizing the guy. Being a kid my parents didn't let me at any of his bullshit Satanism stories (just his bullshit Christianity ones). The guy could turn a joke and tell a tale. I still quote some of his bits from time to time. It's taken a long time to really sink in how much damage he's done, what a tool for ignorance and hate he's been. It saddens me because he always made me proud to be Christian, back when I was.
