Travelling past Hallowe'en displays this afternoon, in stores and on lawns, gave me an idea for our front lawn.  Perhaps late for the election, but we'll see how the riding and the country go tomorrow.  A tableau of famous scientists... Albert Einstein, bound, gagged, and tied to the tree.  Marie Curie, mouth stitched closed, with her glowing skeletal hands.  I don't know which other scientists are iconic and easily recognizable by typical passers-by.

If I end up wearing a costume this year, it might be generic "scientist" (lab coat, pockets full of stuff) and lips stitched together.
