Body Worlds
So, Brett, Adalie, Mom and I went to the body exhibit on Saturday night. For those of you who don't know what it is, it is basically human bodies skinned and on display. To put it in lame mans terms, what they do it plasticize whatever they want from the body and boil the rest away. What you see is just the insides, like the muscles or veins or blood painted a little to look more realistic. Real bodies though which was a little hard for me to grasp as the real thing because, well I don't know maybe I subconsciously think it is not actually possible to do it?? My husband was in awe the whole time and my mother was a little sick to her stomach I think. Adalie talked up a storm the whole time and I felt a little embarrassed about her being the loudest one in the museum...although do people really have to just whisper in museums, is that a rule? Anyway, I would recommend it for those that don't have weak stomachs....it was actually kind of cool.

we have contemplated going... glad y'all got to go and had fun!
I saw body world in germany when i was 17 and it was SO cool! I'm not sure if it's the exact same exhibit. I think because everything is plasticized it doesn't really seem like real bodies because, well, they're plastic.
