Moist Towelette Museum

湿纸巾博物馆位于东兰辛市密歇根州立大学校园内的艾布拉姆斯天文馆，是一个致力于收藏和展示湿纸巾的独特博物馆。该博物馆由约翰·弗伦奇（John French）策展，展品丰富多样，均由来自世界各地的爱好者捐赠。这些藏品涵盖了多种用途和来源，从航空公司提供的清爽湿巾、医疗级湿巾，到《星际迷航》、肯德基和蔡司等品牌推出的纪念品，应有尽有。无论是实用型、促销型还是新奇有趣的湿巾，这些物品都成为了日常卫生用品的一份独特档案。博物馆欢迎公众捐赠；有兴趣捐赠的藏家可将物品寄往东兰辛市的博物馆地址。展馆的开放时间为每周二至周五，上午 9:30 至下午 4:30。无法亲自到访的参观者，也可通过博物馆维护的在线目录查看其丰富的馆藏。网站甚至还提供了一份使用金缕梅和甘油在家自制湿纸巾的DIY配方。

最近的一场 Hacker News 讨论聚焦于奇特的“湿纸巾博物馆”网站，其保留了 1997 年代风格的网页美学，受到了广泛好评。该话题引发了收藏家们分享各自小众归档项目的热潮。用户们讨论了类似的热门项目，如火柴盒博物馆，并分享了从复古名片到复写纸收据等各类个人收藏。这场对话反映了人们对保存日常琐碎之物以及早期互联网式编目魅力的共同欣赏。

According to Anita in Brooklyn, this is called "OTEFUKI" Te is "hand" Fuki is "wipe." the O is the Japanese honorific, so you could call it "Honorable Hand Wipe" if you like.

Want an allsky for your planetarium? Download these 6 files created with Digidome, print them to slides and put them in your allsky slide system, if you are into 1990's planetarium technology.

Watch out, these are big files (for 1990's technology). About 1.6 megs each. They open into a new window.

Contact the museum's curator if you're interested in moist towelette content for Digistar or other fulldome video systems.

Here's a Moist Towelette do-it-yourself recipe I found on the web!

							24 squares white paper towels.
							1 cup witch hazel
							1 teaspoon glycerine

							Separate and stack each of the paper towel squares from the roll; 
							cut each square in half. Place the rectangles in front of you vertically, 
							fold each rectangle into thirds as though folding a business letter. 
							Fold each in half as though closing the cover of a book.

							Combine witch hazel and glycerine. Mix well and pour over towelettes. 
							Let stand for a few minutes to absorb all of the liquid. 
							Stack in a lidded plastic container or zip-lock type bag.
