A little while back I took my youngest to the Putnam Museum in Davenport, Iowa to see the new science center. We had a blast doing a lot of silly cool things like taking silly pictures of ourselves using their thermal imaging camera. Man, I should have been a model...
This photo has been strategically cropped so you can't see my Jabba the Hutt quadruple chin.
But this post isn't about our shenanigans. It's about the visiting exhibit at the Putnam right now. Called CSI: The Experience, it let's you solve three different crimes while learning about various CSI techniques. Think that sounds cool? It because it is. But I have to admit one of my favorite parts is the gift area at the end. It has a bunch of bloodylicious merchandise. In fact, it's so cool I'm going to share some of it with you now.
Did you know most murders involving butcher knives occur in bathrooms? You probably didn't because that fact is a lie -- at least I think it is. Maybe it's true but in this case I just made it up because I couldn't think of a proper segue. Perhaps I should have just said, "Here's some cool bloody bath merchandise," then start by showing you this:

How's this for a "hand" towel?
They had bloody shower curtains and bath mats, too...
Just gives you that welcoming, "come inside and refresh yourself" vibe. Doesn't it?
And what better way to bathe than with bloody shower gel for that fresh-as-a-daisy feeling.
Of course, it wasn't all about the bathroom. Take this adorable lunch box.
Plus this sticky note pad I just had to get.
I also bought some crime scene-inspired barricade tape to inspire me. You see, I've got a couple of projects that just can't seem to get done. Like that alcove I filled with stuff to take to Goodwill three months ago? Still there. EPIC FAIL.
And, yes, you guessed it. Though we've fixed it, that picture is still not on the wall. It's been what, two years now? Another EPIC FAIL.
Wow. Maybe I shouldn't have ended with that. Now I'm feeling kind of depressed. Okay, that's another lie. I'm pretty comfortable with my ineptitude/lazinesss. I just wrote that as another segue to end this post. Thought I needed one. Maybe I don't.
