"The Mystery Geosynchronous Orbit Spot!"...This has to be the first knowing reference to Santa Cruz's "The Mystery Spot" that I've ever come across. When you go there, the most mysterious aspect of it is that they seem to think it's famous. I know I'd never heard of the thing until I moved in next door (practically).
But perhaps I just wasn't paying attention. Because, if it's prominent enough to get a near name-check in alt.text...well then maybe it is famous!
The Museum would have to also have some sort of mechanism to freeze unloved family members into carbonite blocks. These can be taken home and enjoyed by the kids for years.
In all fairness, there are a number of Mystery Spot-like attractions. Roadside America has a handy reference to cheesy pseudo-mystic attractions in the US.
You must be losing your touch. This has been up for a week, and you haven't gotten a single "This is stupid, U R not Funny, why does Wired pay you, etc..." post in the comments section. I'm disappointed.

I mean, that's famous enough. I'd think.

You forgot the Drive-Through Asteroid.
And, to steal a concept from Dave Barry, the Giant Wafting Tortoises would be a good name for a rock band.

planetary sea turtles are far more at home in space than giant tortoises.
