For the past few months there has been an exhibit in Salt Lake called Body Worlds.
Body Worlds (German title: Körperwelten) is a traveling exhibition of preserved human bodies and body parts that are prepared using a technique called plastination to reveal inner anatomical structures.
Bill and I were able to attend this really interesting display. They have human bodies without the skin and posed in different positions to show muscles, blood vessels, bones, etc. One guy was in a clear plastic box. Bill mentioned how surprised that guy will be on resurrection day to find himself locked in a box.
One day we were driving by the building and pointed it out to the kids. Bill, being a nurse, told them how interesting the exhibit was. Karl said there is a reason he is not in a biology class--it kinda grosses him out. He had no desire to see the exhibit at all.
Bill: But Karl, when you become a god and create your own worlds and bodies, you need to know how everything works so you can do it!
Karl: Can't I just copy and paste?

HA HA HA!!!! Karl cracks me up!!! He's pretty witty! I like that! He's cool!!!
I saw that Body Works thing while in New York. I thought it was very intree... ummm...neat. (yeah, neat. I can spell neat.) The display I remember most was the mirror image of the body, one side being the veins and the other being the muscles. Pretty amazing.
We saw it in AZ too. Keith was way into it because of being in school and was trying to teach me all the names of everything. All I wanted was lunch. JK. I liked it. Very interesting and way too complicated for my simple mind.
Karl is funny!
That sounds cool! I've been to an autosy or two and I'm always right there (probably in the way) asking the doctor questions which he is more than likely glad to see me go when he is done. The body is an amazing thing...especially mine! Yeah, I've been working out!!!
You guys are all weird. Dad was right, he and I are the only normal ones in the family.
