He would be famous with a job at the wax museum.
(Yes, I'm a terrible person.)

Yet I don't see a single dad in the video? Anyway, I bet said dad was leafing through his own father's stash of Playboy magazines since the age of 6 and never been to any art museum.

I've been to Ferrari World (on that same island) - it was less of a theme park, and more of a Ferrari museum which happened to have a rollercoaster.
The Emiratis like to compete with each other - this new Sea World will be much larger than the aquarium inside the Dubai Mall.

okay...you did offer some sources. couple of them reliable and one wouldn't line the cat box with.

did read the surgery was in '88, and webmd article basically said no worries.

so what was the point? what was at the end of that labyrinth?

dirty shame about the world hating americans.

damn.

odd, that...just got through a piece that questioned the stereotype of 'ugly americans' in europe. many europeans found other europeans more objectionable (russians came up often).

have met with a LOT of people from around the world. some here and some on travels...most seemed okay w/my presence. going to put that alongside the daily news source. [might be right about those saudis that threw rocks at us...but that was a misunderstanding]

...and traveling along w/mom...spent more time in strangers' homes than museums.

*ahem* maybe it's more the person than the people. [found that everywhere]

Maybe it's the model builder in me, but for that money, I'd go for any DeAgostini model kits. The construction is super intricate that'll take more than a few hours, the finished models are like museum-level art pieces.

Hmm... maybe sell me this puzzle box in pieces that I can build myself in 70+ hours for $200 and I might bite. The process of building it must be more enjoyable.

Interesting story regarding the scene... Seems that was a $40,000 guitar on loan from a museum. Was not suppose to be smashed

I think the Smithsonian will eventually sell prints and books, but I doubt they will ever sell off any of the paintings - Museums collect - they don't sell their exhibits.

Looks like a museum piece. Probably less pollution per year than your average Prius.

They are just links to articles/videos on the great Assyrian king Ashurbanipal.

Intro to Ashurbanipal: https://goo.gl/W58wPJ links to https://blog.britishmuseum.org/who-was-ashurbanipal/ which is an article on the British Museum's blog.
The second link goes to a youtube video featuring Irving Finkel explaining how to write cuneiform
The third link goes to https://blog.britishmuseum.org/lion-hunting-the-sport-of-kings-2/ which is another article on the Museum's blog, on lion hunting in ancient Asyrria.
The final link is also on their blog, and is an article on King Ashurbanipal’s botanical gardens https://blog.britishmuseum.org/paradise-on-earth-the-gardens-of-ashurbanipal/

I wasn't thinking about including YT ad revenue in the economics, but I guess that certainly could be counted and definitely motivate many people.

However, I guess that confirms that it is passion for the work, the machines themselves, and the feedback that are the primary motivators for him. Would probably still be doing these repairs even if YT income / encouraging feedback wasn't a factor, and even without more traditional motivators like plans to resell or use the repaired devices.

I guess the closest parallel would be repairs and restorations for museum displays. There's a financial element there too, but the people doing the restorations do that job more for the love of the objects and seeing them restored.
