Body Worlds 3

Was really cool. It was a nice refresher course in anatomy. I took Compartive antomy at Truman, so Knew intamately the insides of a Salamander, Shark and Cat. I only got to see one human cadaver.

The Statues are called "Plastinates". They are real people who died of natural causes whose bodies were pumped with a polymer that preserves them in perfect detail.

Beautiful, intricate, morbid, grotesque, fascinating and shocking.

They also did what looked like resin slices of people, very educational but very weird to be looking at a slice of someone.

I wish I could be more articulate about all this, but my brain shuts down about fifth hour.
