    I worked at the museum when I was in Tampa. It's cool for like one day, then I just got fucking sick of it.

    How sensitive are you?

    If you look at it in more of an inquisitive frame of mind, you'll be fine.
    If you think of them as real humans, it might get to you....
    I think if you view them as real humans, it 'won't' get to you.
    I mean, that is what we all look like.
    And yes, a lot of them are Chinese prisoners. Were. :p

    I really wanted to see this when it first came out but no one wanted to go with me. Now that I am studying in the medical field, I feel it is mandatory that I go. I have become absolutely fascinated with the human body and the way we work. Maybe I can convince my school to send us on a field trip. :)

    Yeah I went to the one at the Sea Port in NYC a couple of months ago. It was really creepy at first. No smell, but looking at the human body as basically a steak was disturbing at first.

    Amazing to see the break up of the different systems of the body!

    The only area you may have a sensitivity to (and they warn you in advance) is the fetus area and women who were pregnant. My wife found this extremely fascinating but it definately is not for everyone.

    Yeah I wanted to go down to the seaport since I've never been down there and that's when I saw that Bodies is there.

    You're right about the pregnant woman and fetus...that DOES freak me out. ALOT. That's disturbing.

    I will never forget these french fries I had down at the seaport YEARS ago with my Dad. It was the first time I ever had battered fries...you know the ones with the coating on them?? They were heaven.
    That part of NYC is so beautiful. The architecture is really wild.
    Oh and there is a building down there that supposedly George Washington slept in. It is a restaurant. My Dad and I ate there once too. There is a plaque outside.

    That is the ONLY reason to go to the Seaport. I worked across the street from there for 2 years and would travel to get away from it.

    I'm thinking it's probably like the East Coast version of Santa Monica pier(without the rides)?

    I forgot about that!
    haha
    We used to hang out a lot. I mean, we still do but he used to take me into the city once a year to go to the Christmas Spectacular and take me to FAO Scwartz and out to a nice dinner. He worked for IBM and they made the trip every year. Some of my best memories.
    And while you are down there, walk over the Bkln Bridge. So amazing.

    bringing this thread full circle, i'm sure you'd see at least a couple of bodies floating in the East River on that harbor cruise! :D
    I love to turn you on

    :rolleyes:
    Don't go over the bridge. It was merely a suggestion.
    :p
    Lemme know when you are going to the exhibit while you are here. I would love to go with you. Unless, you know..you have other company.
    ;)
    I truly am so fascinated with the human body right now. We are doing the systems in one of my classes. And it is bugging me out! Just amazing.
