bodies

If you're ever in a city where Bodies is exhibiting, GO SEE IT! It's a scientific and awe-inspiring wonder how a body can be preserved, peeled and cut up just so, so that one can marvel at the inner workings of the human body from birth to decay. From the intricacies of the framework to the anomalies that can deform, the show is entirely worth the $25, even though all I could think of was slices of meat – pork ribs, flank steaks, bone-in-ham – not that it made me hungry, it just reminded me of cutting up meat for the grill and the thought wasn't all too appetizing; especially after seeing what a scarred cirrohtic liver could look like whithering away in the cavity of a rib cage. It's absolutely fascinating how far technology and the human body have evolved to allow us a glimpse into form and function, and yet, it's even more amazing how many humans still cannot seem to grasp the simplicity of the words "No cameras".
