<< "I'm a scientist, first and foremost," said Nate Murphy,  the Malta  
paleontologist who helped find Leonardo and publicly  unveiled him to great  
fanfare 
in 2002. "A specimen like Leonardo, he's  our marquis specimen and  deserves 
to 
be studied. I am getting all  sorts of pressure from museums around  the 
country to let them take him  and do the research. They've got deep pockets,  
but 
once you give a  specimen to another institution, it's hard to get him back."

Who are these deep-pocketed museums  around the  country so willing to 
snatch Leonardo from his rightful  home? America wants to  know! And so do I 
because I've never met a  museum with deep pockets or even  shallow ones for 
that 
matter. Signed,  DV, a marquis specimen in his own  right.
