We took Jim's folks to the Body World's exhibit today as a Christmas gift.
It is the weirdest exhibit I have ever seen. Basically they take real human bodies and thru a special process called plastination, preserve them so you can see all parts of the bodies: muscles, organs, bones, nerves.
It was literally like seeing real skinned bodies. They had a section that showed babies and a pregnant woman. And they had bodies posed in different positions so you could see how the muscles, tendons and bones worked. There were a soccer player, a skateboarder and an ice skater.
I am pretty intrigued by the human body and am not very squeamish, but there was something about this exhibit that gave me the eeby jeebies!
