The World of Bodies

Brandon and I went to Body Worlds today. It was pretty cool. I got to hold a liver - one that was normal and another that was all screwed up. The plasticine models were really neat. You have to wonder who got the pleasure of stripping their muscle away from their bones, and putting different body parts in different positions. Totally screwed up if you think about it too long.

My favorite exhibit was the one dedicated to pregnancy/childbirth. They had embryos at different stages of development as well as fetuses, and a woman with a baby inside her. Although the display was very contreversial, it was tastefully done. Some pics (not my own, no cameras allowed) below:


They're all real bodies. They even had stages of pregnancy starting at like one week. It was just a tiny spec of cells floating in a tube. IT WAS CRAZY. Brandon wants to go back and walk it again when the hype dies down, as it was VERY busy in there and you almost feel rushed/closterphobic.

And there was a lot of dead people penis.

They also had cross sections of obese people. It was really gross and it looked like giant pieces of bacon.

In conclusion, if you don't take this chance to go now, you'll miss out on an AWESOME exhibit. SO GO.
