What to include
A clear message helps the Invention Desk route your note without the Purpose Goblin declaring procedural chaos.
- Your name or organization
- The page or invention you are writing about
- The correction, question, or idea
- Any source, citation, or background if relevant
- The best way to reach you
Corrections welcome
The museum should be charming, but it should not be sloppy.
Invention history can be messy. Product origin stories are often simplified, repeated, mythologized, or disputed.
If you see a factual problem, unclear wording, awkward page flow, broken link, missing safety note, or better source, send it in. The Purpose Goblin will stamp it, Mika will review it, and Professor Wrongway will pretend the process was always this organized.

Good reasons to write
The Invention Desk handles several kinds of messages.
Classroom use
Ask about using Beautifully Wrong stories for teaching invention history, creativity, or product pivots.
Suggest an exhibit
Know another invention that failed its first purpose and found a second life? Send it in.
Press and projects
Send collaboration, media, publishing, or presentation inquiries through the same desk.
Before sending a new exhibit idea
A Beautifully Wrong exhibit works best when the story has a clear original purpose, a real mismatch or failure, and a later use that changed the product, market, science, or public understanding.
The stronger the evidence, the better the museum case. If the story is more legend than fact, say so. Professor Wrongway enjoys a good legend, but the museum label should be honest.
The official mood
Useful messages beat mysterious envelopes.
The Purpose Goblin requests clarity. Serendipity Cat requests envelopes that can be sat on.
Send enough detail to make the next step easy. If you are reporting a page issue, include the page URL. If you are suggesting a new invention story, include the original purpose, later use, and any source or reference you trust.
