inspired by the mr. goodbody post

I went to see the Body Worlds exhibit over the weekend. It is bodies and body parts preserved through plastination (something to do with plastics). The exhibit isn't really gross because the bodies are in strange poses: soccer goalie making a save with one hand and holding all his internal organs in the other, a man riding a horse holding his brain out as an offering, a runner with his muscles peeling off behind him, and the Winged Man- his arm muscles were peeled back so they looked like wings- who was sporting a fedora.

It's a traveling exhibit and I know it was in New York recently. Look for exposed goodbodies in a city near you.
