BODYWORLDS 2 Ends 1/26!

Note to self: Eating sundried tomatoes and mozzarella balls is not a good idea when looking at pictures like this:

Whoa.

So the BODYWORLDS 2 & The Three Pound Gem exhibit at the San Jose Tech Museum of Innovation started September 27, and we still haven't gone to see it. And now I find out that it ends next weekend! Yikes!!! The goods news is both Trip and I have Monday off (I think this is the first time since high school that I've had Martin Luther King Jr Day off! Yay BlogHer!), so we're going to make a conscious effort to see it!

If you're not familiar with this exhibit, well, let me let them explain:

BODYWORLDS 2 & The Three Pound Gem presents the complexity and beauty of the human body, preserved through Plastination, the groundbreaking method of specimen preservation invented by anatomist Dr. Gunther von Hagens. More than 200 authentic human specimens offer visitors profound insights into the form and function of the human body, wellness and disease, and the mysterious world of the brain.

From infancy to adolescence, and adulthood to old age, the brain chisels, refines, matures, and transforms itself. BODYWORLDS 2 & The Three Pound Gem includes a special debut feature on the brain inspired by the latest findings in neuroscience.

I've had many friends go, and from what they say, it is a must see. I admit I am a bit apprehensive, as I'm not a fan of anything gory or gross, let alone the insides of a REAL human being. But the health buff in me (if trying to not eat processed food and maybe running three days a week constitutes being a "buff") is dying to see this. No pun intended.
