I actually like the truth all by itself.  The (rich, eccentric?) couple
that funded the building of that fountain apparantly donate money to
universities all over the country to build fountains.  When the woman was
asked what she thought of the Science Center's new fountain after it was
done she said (paraphrased) "Oh this is so lovely, this one actually works!"
