   I suppose.   
      
   I got that, it just seems more on that I forgot that they work for a Museum   
   more than not, and that it is very convenient that everyone else has this vast   
   knowledge that also helps out on criminal cases. :)   
      
   Like Hodges should have a pretty good knowledge of olden times soil cultures   
   and bactieria data sets. Yet it seems that he also has it for modern times.   
      
   That was part of why I liked the Gormaggon story line because they had to use   
   more of the old times knowledge than their modern time knowledge.

   I guess it's that I don't really see the great worth of having a picture made.   
   :) That's why I said to relagate her back to the Museum. I get the importance   
   of her skills to reconstruct from bone fragments and other partial pieces as a   
   museum grunt.
