TEN BADDEST BAD POSTCARDS OF 2011 — #5Your BAD POSTCARDS Blogger Reblogs Ten of his Favorite Postcards of the Year LOUIS PASTEURPotters Wax MuseumSt. Augustine, Florida This is one of my favorite wax museum postcards. I love the arthritic hands. The poor guy can’t bend his fingers enough to get a good grip on the syringe. The taxidermied chinchilla is a nice touch. But Louis isn’t paying attention to what he’s doing. The chilla is getting spiked while Louis is gazing off into space. Not professional. The artist’s laboratory backdrop is kinda cool.

ARTHRITIS POOL This card represents a contribution to the Quad-City Branch, IOWA ARTHRITIS FOUNDATION’S “Wishing Pool” in the lobby of the HOLIDAY INN, Moline, Illinois. Shot close to Siberia in 1962, the white polar bear stands ten feet tall, was approximately 27 years old and weighed 1500 pounds. Can you imagine the joy felt by the execs of the Arthritis Foundation when they saw their donor wheel this baby in? The pool serves as a moat, protecting visitors from this cantankerous carnivore who was obviously pissed off for being plucked from his Siberian wilderness home at a ripe old age.

Today is INTERNATIONAL MUSEUM DAY On BAD POSTCARDS the museum is likely to be wax. Wax museum postcards are the baddest! Here’s one of my favorites. LOUIS PASTEUR (1822-1895)French chemist and bacteriologist, born Dec. 27, 1822. Won his “Bachelier es Lettres” at Royal College of Bessacon, 1840. Pioneered in fermentation research. Developed the first vaccination to control chicken cholera and anthrax. His greatest gift to mankind is the treatment for hydrophobia. On July 6, 1885 after prolonged experiments he inoculated a child who had been badly bitten by an infected dog and the experiment was a success. AN EXHIBIT AT POTTERS WAX MUSEUM, ST. AUGUSTINE, FLORIDA.
