I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

- Wikipedia Description: Maryland Science Center
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Maryland Science Center, located in Baltimore, Maryland's Inner Harbor, opened to the public in 1976, with 3 levels of exhibits, a planetarium and an observatory. It was one of the original structures that drove the revitalization of the Baltimore Inner Harbor from its industrial roots to a thriving downtown destination. In 1987, an IMAX theater was added, but the museum continued to show its age as the end of the 20th century approached. In 2004, a large addition to the property was opened, and the modernized hands-on exhibits now include more than two dozen dinosaur skeletons. Subjects that the center displays include physical science, space, Earth science, the human body, and blue crabs that live in the Chesapeake Bay.
Maryland Science Center won a 2006 Best of Baltimore award for "Best Place to Take Kids."
Exhibits:
Dinosaur Mysteries This exhibit includes full scale models of dinosaurs such as Giganotosaurus, T-Rex, and Astrodon. It also includes a section where guests can go on a mock paleontological dig to uncover dinosaur bones.
Newton's Alley This exhibit features hands-on physical science related demonstrations including a "Bernoulli blower," "inertia table," and other similar things.
Your Body: The Inside Story This exhibit takes guests on a tour though the inside of the human body. It includes a bed of nails which guests can try out.
Our Place in Space Shows guests different aspects of the solar system, the galaxy, and the universe. It features a revolutionary new piece of technology designed by NOAA called Science on a Sphere. Live presentations on Earth and space are offered daily on the sphere. The Davis Planetarium is also located within this exhibit.
Follow the Blue Crab This exhibit showcases the Maryland Blue Crab as well as other aquatic life native to the Chesapeake Bay.
The Kids Room A room for children 8 and under and their families, which includes a water table, a mock ship, and other activities for young children.
The Demonstration Stage The Demo stage features live science demonstrations including ones about inertia, static electricity, liquid nitrogen, chemical reactions, combustion reactions, space technology, and other topics.
The Links - SpaceLink, BodyLink, and TerraLink The Links at the Maryland Science Center offer visitors a chance to find out the latest news on space, human body, and Earth science. Visitors can ask exhibit staff questions about upcoming satellite missions, new findings on disease therapies, climate change, and much more.
Bodyworlds 2 From February 1 through September 1, 2008, the Maryland Science Center hosts Bodyworlds 2. Bodyworlds 2 is a traveling exhibit, but its stay at the Maryland Science Center will be its first appearance in the Mid-Atlantic. The Science Center normally has the same hours for its traveling exhibits as it does for the rest of the museum, but Bodyworlds 2 will be open past the close of the museum on Friday, Saturdays, and Sundays.
- Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.)
I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
- Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!
