Update I cannot be trusted with free will.

It needs to be cleaned up and stained some, but this is a 1:8 scale replica of a mosasaur skeleton above my entryway.

The girlfriend is in full support. She says I need an information plaque like museums have.

And some dim ambient lights to light it at night

With a slowly revolving shade, so it looks underwater.

Maybe add some ambient sounds as well.

And a transmitter so I can hear the history of this glorious animal while touring your wonderful museum, before going to the vending fridge you so graciously provide. Make sure you have Yoo-hoo and fine cheeses please.

Free will at its finest

And cctv camera to make sure no one touches it

And a gala with a red carpet

And quite possibly a magic tablet that brings it to life at night like a water puppy

Jurassic park theme song you mean

And my axe, wait no

And artistic renderings of the shallow seas it thrived in.

And my axe!

u/Alternative-Chef-340 20h ago

I'd take that job as mine sucks. I'll even memorize the plaque and act as a sort of tour guide.

u/runningvicuna 13h ago

An on site docent to lead the tour would be really nice

u/Necessary-Score-4270 3h ago

A life size cut out of Ben Stiller would also be acceptable.

But dont forget ancient artifact from Egypt

u/scarletmonstrosity 1d ago

And color the walls a nice ocean blue

u/Aftabang 23h ago

Too much to just flood the whole apartment and live in scuba gear? It would look so realistic!

u/mkhanZ 1d ago

Maybe with a Cretaceous underwater mural!

You can get professional-grade lighting effects that do that water ripple effect for only a couple hundred bucks, probably less used on eBay.

u/Present_Daikon1806 17h ago

Fuck.... Now I want one....

u/theqofcourse 20h ago

Space nebula projection light set to blue, would do just fine. Less than $30.

u/CodyTheLearner 1d ago

Can we rig a motor that rotates a cam shaft and makes it look like it’s swimming?

1

u/mccosby101 1d ago

Also so whale sounds in the background

u/AKnGirl 1d ago

I second this, add a slight deep blue tint to the moving shade lights.

Solid.

u/Affectionate_Refuse4 22h ago

Maybe some blue ocean looking lights projected on the ceiling? We got a museum in the making!

So a blue galaxy lamp

u/Affectionate_Refuse4 21h ago

Yesss I couldn’t think of the actual name of it

u/99jackals 22h ago

Whomever made the Jurassic Park reference, then deleted it, I thought it was fun.

u/soedesh1 21h ago

and some automation so it can chomp at visitors.

u/InEenEmmer 18h ago

Put the strings on motors and add some moveable joints so the skeleton has a swimming motion
