"Beauty is only skin deep. " ~ old proverb Lisa, Andrea and I went to OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry) yesterday. The current ‘traveling exhibit’ that is on display there is called "Body Worlds 3". It’s very bizarre, but fascinating.
It’s actual human bodies that have been preserved through a special ‘plasticine’ process. It’s not as gross as it sounds. It’s actually very artistically done. You’re not just looking at dead bodies 
laying on a slab. They are preserved in amazing poses so that you can really see what muscles are used.

If you want to see more about this wild exihibit, you can go to http://www.google.com/ and select "images" and type in Body Worlds or go to their website at
OR - you can come visit me and you can go to OMSI and see the exhibit for yourself.
