    I used to work for an airline. For fun I flew up to see this museum. Marvin was still alive then and I met the man. He was so happy that someone flew from so far away just to see him and his oddities that he gave me a guided tour and all he asked was that I sign his book. One of the nicest people I have ever met in my life. I didn't spend a quarter but I bought tshirts from him to remember the trip by. I still have that great Tshirt and the great memory of meeting him. Thank you Jacob for stopping in. I know Marvin would have treated you well if he were still around.

    The Green Cross Code is a road safety measure created in the UK to help remind people to cross the road safely. They even had a series of PSAs promoting it starring David Prowse, the actor who played Darth Vader, as Green Cross Man, teaching kids proper road crossing safety.

    Some of those egg machines brought back memories as a kid. The monkey one is supposed to shake up and down like its jumping. I remember the spinning chicken one. Also rode that ferris musical wheel when I was a kid at a Chuck E. Cheese, it had Chuck the mouse instead of that clown though.

  • @deniseboldea1624

    The chicken is Helen Henney, and the other chickens are the Warblets. I forgot the Pig's name, He used to have Chuckie and Pasqualli as well, but he sold those to a collector.
    That vibrating hand is supposed to rest on your shoulder or back, it's a rather elaborate back massager.
