On Saturday I went with my friend Trish to see the Body Worlds 3 Display. It is an exhibit with real human bodies that have been preserved through a special method, plastination, invented by Dr. Gunther von Hagen in 1977. It had all the different organs and different systems and even diseased organs. There were organs that had a stroke, deformities, or cancer, and even broken bones. The body displays were a little more "artistic" than what I thought- there was a body holding it's organs or a body with the brains on top of it's head. They even had a plastination of a camel and it's offspring- it was huge!!
It was fascinating seeing all the complexities of the body and made me appreciate how everything works together. I wanted to put up some pictures, but not everybody would appreciate that as much as I would so I settled for the blood vessel configuation of a rooster.

Dear Rosie, in our very neighborhood my have a small live rooster who goes around crowing night and day. It is nice to see what he might look like if he was doing his important daily work. We,too are fascinated with the mechanics of the human body. Just like so many things about this world. It is amazing that it works. thanks for sharing your adventure. Love Mom Babs
What I meant to say, it is nice to see what our little rooster looks like inside. And he is a pleasant part of our neighborhood family.Have a great day. Mom B.
Charlie is such a cute rooster... I want one just like him. :)
Lucky! I want to go see the Body Worlds. I will go soon and then we can discuss our favorite body parts!
Halloween and dead bodies of people and animals. They all go together in an eerie collage, and it's good to have a friend along this time of year.
There are so many strange and wonderful things to experience. Thank you for sharing--just the rooster picture--and leaving the rest to our imaginations!
Love from Mérida
