Poop Goes Prime Time in Atlanta


If your kids are anything like mine, they will bolt for the car the second they hear the news that the Fernbank Museum in Atlanta has an entire exhibit dedicated to #2.  Running through September 3, The Scoop on Poop answers every question you have ever had about the end game of digestion, and then some.

While there are a few vignettes that creep dangerously close to Bevis and Butt-head territory, the majority of the displays are animal specific and include many fun, interactive components.  The highlight for my crew was the head-to-head dung beetle race.

Some of the video footage is surely having an impact on businesses in the cafeteria, but the appropriately themed selection in the gift shop is surely making up for the loss in revenue.  Be prepared for goodies of all sorts on display in toilets as you make a bee line for the exit. 

Have a great summer everyone!
