A curator (from Latin: curare meaning "take care") is a manager or overseer. Traditionally, a curator or keeper of a cultural heritage institution (e.g., gallery, museum, library or archive) is a content specialist responsible for an institution's collections and involved with the interpretation of heritage material. The object of a traditional curator's concern necessarily involves tangible objects of some sort, whether it be inter alia artwork, collectibles, historic items or scientific collections. More recently, new kinds of curators are emerging: curators of digital data objects and biocurators.
In smaller organizations, a curator may have sole responsibility for the acquisition and care of objects. The curator will make decisions regarding what objects to collect, oversee their care and documentation, conduct research based on the collection, provide proper packaging of art for transport, and share that research with the public and scholarly community through exhibitions and publications. In very small volunteer-based museums, such as local historical societies, a curator may be the only paid staff member.

Plot: For Gareth, it rains every day. He starts to want things that men aren't supposed to want. He wants to have someone to hug and to hold. He wants to meet a nice woman. For his flat mate this is too much to stomach. Calvin believes that agents are following him from some shadowy government agency. While Leon, well Leon is just plain weird. Gareth has never been the most forward man in the world, talking to women has never been easy at the best of times. So when Calvin explains the concept of 'alternate universes' to Gareth he starts him thinking. What if out of all the different Gareths, in all the different universes, he is the one who is permanently unlucky in love? What if he is the one who is destined to go without? While Gareth may not fully understand the whole alternate universes concept there is one thing he does understand. Unless he takes action soon. He may be left in a universe all by himself.

Plot: An archaeologist at a museum scolds his small, silent dog, Shep, for supposedly removing a bone belonging to a dinosaur skeleton and orders Shep to bring the bone back, but Shep finds that the place where he buried his most recent bone has been dug up and a bulldog is walking away with the bone in his mouth. Shep chases the bulldog with intent of retrieving the bone, and so begins a battle of wits between Shep and the bulldog in a spacious yard surrounding the bulldog's house. After hoodwinking the dog into trading the bone for a giant plaster bone facsimile loaded with dynamite connected to an ignited fuse, Shep waits for the explosion, then flees the enraged bulldog. He goes back to the museum with the bone in his mouth, but to his dismay, he learns from the archaeologist that the archaeologist had the bone in question in his pocket all the time and that the bone Shep had labored to retrieve had just been an old soup bone.
