No one died (and so there will probably be no evocative monument to it) but the storm did major damage to a number of downtown buildings &#8212; including the P.T. Barnum Museum. And the P.T.

His goal, according to the Waterbury Republican-American, was to wrest the Guinness World Record away from the current wooden champion, made of 370,000 popsicle sticks.

The $25 million project was originally scheduled for the 2011-2012 season at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. A 70-foot-long replica of a real Baldwin locomotive was to be suspended from a [...]]]></description>

Tie on a plastic bib and let the melted butter run down your wrists; sit on a quaint, weathered, splintery picnic bench  as you struggle with your miniature King Neptune fork, determined to get the last bit of meat out of a once-flailing creature.
