The Booth Museum of Natural History in Hove was celebrating its anniversary in 1990 and all the staff were preparing the exhibits for a big party. The museum's curator was reluctant to believe that an escaping skeleton dashing through the showcases would make a better picture than his plans for David Bellamy opening the do, but after skelly was hung by fishing lines from planks of wood held by G-clamps and its mouth wedged open with a film can, he saw the joke. So did Life Magazine, which used it as a whole page.
