If the pictures of devistation weren't enough to show the awesome wake of devistation left by 2004's earthquake-spawned tidal waves, this display features an ampersand from an entirely different font book to represent 'wind, waves, and wibbons of hope.'
When we told Sharkbot Badot, curator for the Notebaert Nature Museum, that the word 'ribbons' begins with an 'r' and not a 'w,' he told us to 'either buy something at the gift shop or get out.'

"Wind, waves, and wibbons" !
I loved that. It reminds me of Monty Python's Life of Brian.
That scene when Brian is brought before Pilate and his friend, Biggus Dickus. Pilate has a list, and says, "Centurion, stwike him wuffly, and phwoe him to the floor".
Listen to it here: http://www.intriguing.com/mp/_sounds/lb/thwow.wav
You can also see the three characters here:
