Over the summer...
I am thinking about doing a series of podcasts about museums around Atlanta. Why? Because we have a couple of rather odd offerings in this city, it seems. The three that come to mind: the National Museum of Patriotism, which is within easy walking distance of my apartment and is next to a bunch of porno stores, so I can save a trip; the Center for Puppetry Arts; and the Federal Reserve Museum, which I am sure will lay bare the plot of the Fed to overtake the world by filling Jews with money, or whatever the Ron Paul wackos are saying.
I should also probably see the Margaret Mitchell House, the Fernbank Natural History Museum, the Museum of Music, the Carter Museum, the Georgia Capitol, the International Islamic Museum of America...there are a lot of them to see! I have already been to the CDC Museum of Public Health, where I got the poster in my office that lists hundreds of genetic diseases by chromosome! It is the only museum I have been to where my car needed to be searched before I could enter. I've also been to the World of Coke, which was depressing, and the Aquarium, which was freaking awesome.
So, that's my idea. I think that I would like to go to the Georgia Guide Stones as a special treat.

May I suggest the paper museum? It's free... and pretty dang good for a free museum. My wife and I were driving through there on our honeymoon (1 month ago) and spent 2 days in Atlanta to see some sights and meet friends, and during an unoccupied 3-hour period, we decided to visit it. We were most pleased.
I know, I know, what kind of newlyweds visit a free Paper museum? The same kind that would visit the Mutter Museum and find it just as awesome!

Wait, what? Jews? Where'd that come from?
Conspiracist nutters often link jews and bankers. The idea that the money supply is in the hands of a very select and naughty few is in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. So, that's where it comes from.
