    Have a fabulous day. ☺

    Absolutely. I wanted to see the exhibit just to see if I could've spotted it, but of
    course, at my age it wouldn't have been an amazing feat. This boy is fifteen. This is one sharp kid.

    It's amazing that there are young people today using their brains for good. Well done young man. I hope that the museum gave him something for his help?

    Have a wonderful Thursday Cube. See ya.

    Paul Pietrangelo: This renews my faith in our youth. We should clone this kid. If I ran the museum, some would be fined and some would be rewarded.
