I saw the exhibit in twin cities... pretty amazing stuff.

Hm, this idea appeals to me.

I've seen those 'art' exhibits in the news, of corpses half open, insides exposed, plasticized....creepy stuff...

I was going to go with this chick to one of those shows in San Francisco but I got really sick the night before and opted out
I really wanted to see it too.

I saw the Body Worlds exhibit in Chicago a year or so ago. It was really cool to see the bodies opened up and be able to look right inside of someone. Creepy yet cool at the same time.

It's not as cool in person IMHO. They look plastic because that's what they are after the body or organ goes through the process. In photos, they look like they've still got some life to them.
