Wow! Actually, I could apply but have two major strikes against me:
* woman
* older than 62

Dammit! That's a pity.

I've heard the office has a trapdoor and chute under the desk. *Apparently* it leads directly to a military warehouse guarded by the Vatican. In there are thirteen crystal skulls and the autobiography of Jesus clutched in the hand of a well-preserved red-haired giant. A source implied that when the skulls are aligned with the five planets this giant will arise and read this holiest of texts.

If not for institutionalised sexism, you might have been able to confirm or deny this claim.

Seeing this after just coming from a thread on Women's Rights has given me a bit of a giggle. Why is your being a woman a "strike"? Is there a lot of heavy lifting involved in curating?

I jest of course, and it is definately their loss, but really, when are they going to get that US constitution changed to say all are equal and not just all men.

Probably they have to clean the penis relics or something.

You don't think women are used to that sort of thing ?

Maybe they don't want the type of woman such duty might draw.
