Has anyone seen Body Worlds/Plastination?

Hmm, this show is in Dallas right now, think I may go see it. I heard it was pretty cool, definitely looks it.

i wanted to, but decided against it when i heard people were queueing up for 3-4 hours as the show was over run. if that aint the case in dallas, go for it.

I hear it is pretty popular in Dallas, but you can order tickets on-line and for a specific time, they let groups in every 15 minutes. Think I may try and go this next week while the wife is in Vegas.

wait and take the wife

I'm morally opposed to it, so, no.

Shoulda mentioned, she saw it in Minnesota and I think in London, she has seen it twice tho. and said it was pretty cool.

[Old Dude]

Yeah. The wife and I saw it. She thought it was one of the most fascinating things she'd ever seen. I thought it was gross and boring and would have preferred to go hang out in the planetarium and watch mindless laser shows.

the guy who developed the show is a psycho, btw. hes on tv here sometimes and once did a public autopsy.

[Old Dude]

Let me put it this way. Body Worlds is like what you'd get if you went around slicing up and flaying and mutilating people and animals and stuff, but without the blood spraying all over.

That's all I have to say.

Reminded me of beef jerky..

I'm in Dallas too and thinking about going. It really is an issue with me. I can see it for the science side, but I don't believe in potraying a deceased human as art. Sort of a conundrum.

How so?

Went to it in Minneapolis for free with school stuff. I enjoyed it. I've heard they have better exhibitions overseas.
