Peobody Museum Complex

PerspicatiosE

What are some new ideas that can be used by science museums?

I invented museumry or was one of the last links to the word.

  • Possibly invented occult museums.
  • Occult architecture (past life possibly, as early as 1,000,000 BCE), would require an occult architect perhapso
  • Anyway, museums

I think they have hussar in the logos, what do you say my man!

3 for 1.

The Triceritops Museum.

Dinosaur Museum.

They have some kind of Holocaust set up to create another museum for dead humans.

  • That’s about all they accomplished. Eh ahh

I think this was around 2011 - 2013, at my Suite on Orange St. in New Haven.

Someone knocked on my door.

"Hi, you're Nathan Coppedge? We're investigating a Nobel Prize?"

"For me? I mean, really! For me?"

"Well, this is a very cursory thing. We're just checking to see if you 'might be' a valid candidate. It's either yes or no. If it's no, then you won't ever win the Nobel Prize."

"I would say, I'm a little immature. Too immature for this!" I said.

"You could be indicted for fraud" one of them said, helpfully.

"My experiments are honest, but incomplete" I said.

"Well, that's that!" someone said.

And, that was it.

For a long time I just assumed it was a joke arranged by my mother.

But my mother said it wasn't.

Nothing else came of it.

So, I had to assume it was real.

(Another option I'm considering is that my friend Laura Fawcett arranged it with the staff of the Peobody Museum. And another option is that it was a large group of neighbors in my building. But who knows).

Later the landlord asked me:

"Did you win the Nobel Prize?"

I said, "No, not yet."

"What about the people?"

"What people?"

"Those people who visited---"

"Oh, those people. I think they were just joking around."

He said: "That's a lot of people to joke around with."

There was a deadness in his voice, like I was joking around with the American people.

Back to Stories: SHORT STORIES

Just a note. If you are planning to visit Nathan Coppedge who is one of the few well-known people in New Haven, he doesn’t have a location to visit. Instead he still lives in his own apartment not a house and it is not a tourist location.

There is no Nathan Coppedge museum currently, and pretty much zero museums in New Haven. It also has very expensive hotels that are not worth your time if you are a tourist. New Haven is the only place my dad said where they have 3 star hotels that cost over $1000 a night or… I don’t remember what the exact number was. And they’re really crappy hotels unless you have a car and love the highway. It’s a really expensive area in spite of having some poor neighborhoods: some of the wealthiest people in the world live within a few hundred miles. Sandwiches here are expensive compared to most places except for Japan and the West Coast. $7 sandwiches pretty much disappeared eight years ago. Now it is a rare find to find a sandwich or any other real meal for one person under $8.50. If you’re lucky you might find Chinese food for somewhere between $11 and $45 but sometimes the prices could be much worse.

Cheapest quality food in New Haven is the following:

  • Ice cream and candy is some of the cheapest stuff you can buy right now per value but doesn’t compete well with buying the same things out of state.
  • ‘frito’ type stuff and premade popcorn is almost affordable, but prices have gone up. You will find if you buy this consistently you take in too much salt. And they have started adding some addictive salts that make this stuff bad for you mentally in the long-term.
  • Dark chocolate would be good, but they have started adding addictive salt to most dark chocolate.
  • Sushi at the natural food store might cost $5.50 to $9.50 for six to nine rolls premade if you get the little styrofoam pre-made container.
  • Bagels often cost less than three dollars each.
  • Sodas keep getting more expensive but if you have a regular income you will find that they are cheaper than a lot of things that have fewer calories. Some stores now charge $4.50 for one normal cola, but you shouldn’t buy it at that price.
  • Sometimes appetizers at restaurants are relatively affordable. For example, one of the very cheapest things is hashbrowns at dunkin donuts. These used to cost 50 cents even pretty recently but now I think they’re up to $1.50 to $2.50.
  • If you have someplace to cook, you could buy boxes of spaghetti or macaroni for about $4.50 to $6.50 or something like that. However, spaghetti is not as healthy as it used to be.
