other cosmologies ~

i went to see Gunther von Hagens' BodyWorlds this weekend. if you ever have a chance to see this exhibition, i recommend it highly. it's not skeery and it's not squeamy. something about the plastination process makes the exhibits very friendly and accesible and you will definitely come away with a deeper appreciation for the complexity of your body.



i love these cross-sections.
they remind me of shrinky dinks.

i think the exhibit is tasteful, edifying, and extremely sensitive to the dignity of the human person.

controversy about this is just dumb.

do they still make shrinky dinks?

Apparently so:

I somehow remember the shrinky dinks in my day being more interesting, though...

maybe because they were so novel ~ i dunno how kids manage childhood these days, frankly.
