Further details
David McCandless, an author and journalist best known for his graphic representation of just about every form of information, donates the super-ego, the part of the psyche which stops you from going too far.
Comedian and classics fan Natalie Haynes, donates to the museum all the TV detectives in the world (except Jessica Fletcher from Murder, She Wrote - Haynes claims she was a serial killer).
Linguist Prof. David Crystal provides the museum with his waffle generator, a device which gets you out of awkward conversations by saying nothing but cliches.
