Learning about bodies with Mary.

Mary and I recently went to the Bodies Exhibit at the Museum Of Science and Industry in Tampa. What a neat exhibit. I would recomend it to everyone I know who is comfortable with seeing artistic human nudity and real dead humans. To quote their webiste, "To help you see what a body really looks like on the inside, this Exhibition uses real human bodies that have been preserved so they do not decay." Everything is presented in the most tasteful manner possible. I have been educated to understand that science and art used to be closely related. I now have a working understanding of that basic relationship. It was profound and mildly life changing. My experience was greatly enhanced by having two doctor friends acting as improptu docents. Thanks Chris and Jen for coming along with us and answering our questions and even the questions of nosey passers-by.

Do you think you could get me some of that stuff that presevers human bodies so they don't decay?? Does it come in flavors? (Cherry's my favorite). Can I use my AARP discount? Oh, some of those youngsters in those pictures look familiar. Good lookin' kids......
