Lucie Green, a physicist who specialises in the Sun donates an invisible coronal mass ejection. This is slightly worrying as a powerful one could destory the entire electronic infrastructure of the planet.
The comedian Harry Enfield gives the museum someone he has never come across: a stupid German. Give the huge number of the things they invented it is no surprise Enfield has yet to spot one.
