In case you missed this amusing little nugget, the other day, a settlement offer in a lawsuit over who owns the beige suit worn by O.J. Simpson on the day the verdict was read in his criminal included the option of donating the thing to the Smithsonian Institution. Trouble is, nobody asked the Smithsonian whether they wanted the damn thing in the first place. And as it turns out, they don’t. At all.

The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History will not be collecting O.J. Simpson’s suit. The decision was made by the museum’s curators together with the director.

That’s about as succinct a press statement as we’ve ever seen.

We do wonder what will happen to the suit now. Maybe Roy Pearson could use it? This one may not be worth $54 million, but it’s probably worth *something.*
