HuronBob, I want to do 9/11 as a snowglobe, with a model jet that slides down a transparent (= invisible) slide when you turn it right-side-up, and the snow replaced with tiny whirling square "documents".

Fill that paper Hindenburg with hydrogen gas for some REAL fun.

Rather than screaming, I'd prefer a snowglobe which, when shaken, plays 30 seconds of the Weather Girls singing "It's Raining Men".

This reminds me, I used to have a set of "Death Cult: The Jonestown Massacre Memorial Cards", drawn by different underground cartoonists in the style of Mars Attacks. "Card 26: Spiking The Kool-Aid", "Card 28: Cyanide Convulsions", etc.

Do the historical inaccuracies bother anybody besides me? Titanic sinking backwards, fire breaking out amidships on Hindenburg ... I mean, if you're gonna make a historical diorama ...

Yeah you should just set the model on fire.

And take the Titanic model into the bathtub next time.
