You might say you haven't lived in Milwaukee until you've made the snake rattle.  It's one of my earliest memories.  So you can imagine my shock and disbelief when I realized that (take a deep breath) the rattle button is no longer part of the "indians chasing buffalos" exhibit (that is by no means considered to be an attempt at citing the actual name of the exhibit).  After unsuccessfully attempting to get my money back, Jen and I decided to make the best of it by enjoying the day seeing the rest of the museum, which I'm proud to report is just as good as ever.  But no rattle button?  That's insanity.

I'd love to know why it's gone...  If anybody knows, please email me.  Maybe we can start some kind of petition to have it replaced.  Instead of a link to the Milwaukee Public Museum's website, I've decided to post a link to Wikipedia's article on disappointment.
