And you do know that there is controversy about the Bodies exhibitions because supposedly some of the bodies are stolen from Chinese families that have no idea that their (former) loved ones are on display for the world to gawk at? You would catch me paying a dollar to the scumbags running the show.

Had the exact same experience with the Bodies thing while in Chicago. Exact same progression of curiosity & marvel to yuck to that wish-could-remove-that-part-of-brain thing. I totally wish I’d not seen it. I would have gotten the same kick out of it if it were all just wax & hokey skeletons in clever life-poses — BUT now with muscle & nerves & gristle on ‘em! — …yuck. And did they really have to include the buzzkill “Reproductive World” exhibit? Thanks for re-fetching me the fond memory.

I swear Gunther von Hagens is 120 years old and through his own technologies kept as a creepy creepy 60 year old Polish man.
