Phil, my wife says those inserts would be used in cases where the facial bones have been destroyed in an accident, for open casket viewing. No, seemed to be no Simpsons mania going on. There was a serious tone in town with the state government in the grips of trying to hammer out a new state budget in special session. Ed

Those facial inserts are a bit unnerving, but I bet the museum was interesting. Is Springfield swept up in Simpsons movie mania?

To my eyes Springfield look a typical American town.Very nice all the same
