Body Worlds<\/a> exhibit yesterday. It tours worldwide and displays real preserved cadavers. It is an educational and surreal experience. Most of the bodies are displayed as if involved in everyday activities, their bodies revealing select portions of their innards. Among the creepiest are: <\/p>\n*a man’s muscle-dressed skeleton holding his skin in one arm as if he just removed a jacket
\n*a replica of a family made entirely from their blood vessels, man and wife hand-in-hand while the child rides the father’s shoulders
\n*a man running, his body splitting in two down the middle, his internal organs held in each hand
\n*a reclining pregnant mother, her abdomen removed to reveal the fully-grown child in her uterus<\/p>\n
There is much more, but nothing is as freaky as the progression from zygote to fetus to baby displayed with about 20 samples. If you’ve ever wanted to see every portion of the human body inside and out, this is the exhibit for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
