You hear the oddest questions...
...in museum work.
Two recent gems:
Litle girl (To co-worker, in front of Dinosaur Hall): "Are you the zookeeper?"
Co-Worker: "... Kind of!"
**********
Teenager (To me, once again in front of Dinosaur Hall): "What is that?" *points to huge skeleton*
Me: "That's Gigantosaurus, the second largest meat-eating dinosaur ever discovered. The fossils this skeleton is based on were found in Argentina."
Teenager: (after thoughtful pause) "How did you kill it?"
Me: "... It was already dead..." (I was to stunned for a proper response)
