Crewman from a WW2 German U-Boat has words we should ponder

[aggiesal]

18. I grew up 14 miles from the Museum, and I've been there multiple times. ...

It was a staple for school field trip every year until 6th grade.

Aside from the U-Boat, my favorites were
- The Whisper Gallery, an oval parabola with a stand at the Focus at both ends approximately 43 feet apart. Standing in the Focus, when you whisper into the parabola, the person standing at the other focus 43 feet away, it sounds like the speakers were on too loud.

- The Tix-Tac-Toe board, trying to beat the computer. It wasn't a robot back then, just a computer screen.

- Foucault's Pendulum Clock, when you climb the stairs to the top, was really cool looking down.
