Hi...
I read a news item this morning, about an exhibit, BodyWorlds, that has made its way to Philadelphia. It's a display of real human bodies that have been plastified ("plastination replaces the natural fluids of the body with liquid reactive plastics that are hardened and cured with gas, light or heat"). There is a similar exhibit in San Francisco (The Universe Within), and I found it absolutely fascinating. The cool thing about the exhibit in Philadelphia is that they apparently have a body with scoliosis.
I brought a good friend with me to the SF exhibit. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to look at anything, as he's quite wimpy in terms of even thinking about such things. As it turned out, it didn't bother him at all, and he also found it fascinating. I mention this only because I'm sure some of you will think you wouldn't be able to tolerate the exhibit.
Here's a link to the article:
