The Bodies

On a slightly less morbid note, I encourage one and all to take the time to go down to South Street Seaport, and see The Bodies Exhibit. Despite the hefty 25 dollar entrance fee, it was absolutely fascinating, and educational. Tons of bodies, preserved with some sort of polymer process that allows you to see muscles, veins, arteries and organs much as they are when you're alive. Very cool stuff...

Being someone who lost my spleen in high school, seeing a normal spleen, and one swollen with Mono was particularly engrossing. And the fetal development room -- the growth that takes place in Week 8 of pregnancy is astounding.

The only question I had later was where -- exactly -- did all those bodies come from anyhow?
