Our second foray into the forgotten fiction of R. R. Ryan. The Mikes rummage around the museum and find a few oddities, but nothing really to get excited about. Except that maybe people shouldn't keep big pools of acid under their floors, but that stands to reason.

The Two Mikes lock themselves in some creepy ass castle and swear not to move until they finish reading R.R.
