Body Worlds in Philly, just up the road from me. Morbid though it might seem, I've always wanted to see this exhibit, it just looks utterly fascinating!

And it's there until April of next year - that's PLENTY of time to plan a road trip! Any wannabee anatomists out there?

Looks like it would be a cool exhibit!! Unfortunately, I'm going to be forehead deep in school work, making sure I get it done for May graduation!!!

Yeah, ALL of it. I'm serious. It's amazing. The complexity of the human body is so totally astounding, and to see it laid bare...

They even have one (don't know if it will be in your exhibit or not) of the blood vessels of the head. I don't know HOW they were able to do it (well, I do because I read about it, but you know what I mean), but they have those vessels all the way down to the thickness of a human hair preserved. It's unbelievable to see it stretching over the head like a dense red mat.

Nah - you can't miss ANY of this exhibit.

I haven't been to the Franklin Science museum since I was 9! :) We do plan to go see relatives in PA next year, but April may be a bit too early for that. :( Looks interesting, though I'd hate to think I left my body to science so it could be exhibeted in mid kick matrix style. :)
