Well, class, it's time for another educational field trip exploring the profound depths of our American cultural heritage. Today, we are spending the afternoon in search of "The Thing, Mystery of the Desert." With our trip today, we hope to accomplish three things. Foremost, we hope to enrich our soul by solving this puzzling mystery. Second, we hope to expand our minds by allowing our brains to sop up the lavish exhibits within. And third, we hope to strenghthen our bodies by walking, bending and perhaps a little reaching. If you've been excused from bending and reaching, that should be indicated on your permission slip. Shall we proceed?
