I visited my family in Columbus over Thanksgiving weekend, 
and spent most of the Friday at the new Columbus COSI
(Center of Science and Industry).

I found the new museum to be long on Disney-style gimmickry and
short on real science.  I was disappointed that the Foucault
Pendulum, formerly the museum's centerpiece, had been moved to an obscure 
far corner called "City View", where few people will find it.

What do other people think of the new COSI?
