    The saddest part was the pregnant women and the fetus'
    But again this was the 'Body Worlds' exhibit.

    Has anyone seen this?? I missed it when it was in town.

    I want to see that, but I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it!

    Took the wife the day after the PJ show in Vegas '06. Her idea. It was cool. Will have to agree that the preggo women, skinned, is a bit much to take at first.

    For the love of God, Mer, it's not Disneyland. They didn't hook animatronic devices to the bodies so they could give you a tour. "Oh, excuse me mad'am, would you mind handing me my spleen? It seemed to have fallen out while I was giving a demonstration on the stationary bike."

    Just go. Deal with the nightmares later.

    It's amazing.

    The fact that some of the bodies had tattoos was so cool. I was so caught up in it that i forgot they were real people!

    I saw the Body Worlds one and thought it was really cool and fascinating. It was kind of like morbid art, for lack of a better explanation.

    I agree. It was cool though...the way they displayed the bodies doing various activities and showing what the muscles would look like when doing them. I really remember the gymnast on the rings!

    Ok...so the randomest thing just hapepened. Apparently the ghosts of the executed Chinese prisoners are calling to me. My roommate got home a few minutes ago and I was telling her about Bodies and that I wanted to see it whilst in NYC. She said, "NO FREAKING WAY! Go look on the table". She brought the book thingy home today. Apparently she was at her friend's house and saw it and asked to borrow it to look at.

    I know! I could just stand there for an hour looking at one exhibit!

    Did your exhibit have the whole blood system for a chicken in the shape of a friggin chicken? For some reason, that just tripped me out. A chicken.

    I would like to see a video or something on how they made those bodies and shaped them. It seems so gross, but I'm curious.

    I think mine was a cat....or maybe it was a chicken. I have a bad memory and this was 3 years ago!
    my ex bought the book at the gift shop. He'd sit and look at the book all the time, to tell u the truth that freaked me out a bit!

    I loved the slices of the body where you could pull them out and see section by section:D

    Good thing he's your ex. :p

    You know, I swear ours was a chicken, but it might have been a cat. My memory is shit.

    Don't miss this if it come anywhere near you! A great exhibit....very interesting. I have gone to a few different ones, the Germans do a much better job in the preservation and action display department. The Chinese have some interesting ways to display, like one body holding hands with itself, one side is the muscle, the other the skeletal. Cool ideas in both exhibits. Amazing they can do the circulatory system on its own. Its just mind blowing.

    When I first heard of this years ago I wanted to donate my body, but I had to have it shipped to Germany, like the day I expired. It was too expensive!
    Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!

    I've heard of this and seen a couple of pictures online. I have NO desire to see bodies with muscles and organs exposed. I do not ever watch surgery on TV either.

    I went to this a couple years ago when it was first in Atlanta. It is back again now.

    I thought it was interesting and i would suggest it to anyone. Very facinating and educating.

    The only part that i did not enjoy was the part with the baby fetus. That was a little much for me to see.

    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.
