I decided to add a few visuals to the top of the page. I thought it was looking a bit too plain before. I wonder if anyone can identify all the figures without looking through the museum to find out what they are. (There's no prize. I'm just curious if anyone can do it.)
At some point I'll make the figures clickable, so that they'll link to whatever they represent, but that's a bit of work. I'll save that project for later.
Also, from time to time I might change them around. Take some out, put in a few new ones. It's quite easy to do. I can even have special ones for holidays like Christmas, Halloween, and April Fool's Day, like Google does.

Two more I can guess at. The others I don't know.
And the reason I said six "I think" is because... Is that the big MV third from the right? I guess that was one of the biggest hoaxes of modern times. I still have the CD.
And is that only supposed to be on the front page? They're not supposed to be part of the banner everywhere? (Like on this page where the comments show where the images are not across the banner?)
1) Dude with his head in his chest is from The Works Sir John de Mandeville
2) Winged lady is from The Great Moon Hoax
3) The little pixie-thingy is from The Cottingley Fairies (stupid Conan Doyle...)
4) That's a jackalope!
5) Erm... no idea. A UFO of some kind?
6) That's a guy trying to fly by breathing. Through giant tubes. Whilst on skies.
7) Stumped again, this time by the horse.
8) Bigfoot! From the really really famous Patterson footage.
9) Milli Vanilli (shudders)
10) 9/11 Guy, standing on the World Trade Center and about to be hit by a "plane."
11) Snowball, the radioactive giant kitty.
*goes off to check on the mystery 2*
I remain defiantly proud that I did not recognize Milli Vanilli.
I was shocked to see Milli Vanilli there, mainly because I referenced them in yesterday's OTCC thread.
*Spooky*
I'm going to add the icons to the comments page soon.
Definitely a great idea. 8/10 off the bat 😊 I think flash animation might end up being a bit much, unless maybe it only activated on mouse-over 😉 Good idea linking them to the articles!
And thank you for including my generation's greatest pop group, Milli Vanilli!
Yes, the horse is from Alan Abel's Society for Indecency to Naked Animals. One of my regrets in life is that I no longer have the SINA stuff that Alan gave me when he locked up his teensy-weensy office at 507 5th Ave. in NYC. One of the items was the Official SINA Magazine with a lovely copy of the "horse wearing boxers" drawing on the cover.
