A night at BodyWorks



So Dave and I met my brother Mark and his wife Danielle at the Mall of America to see their new exhibit "Body Works". Strange date night, I know, but ever since they have been advertising it, I've wanted to go see it. Basically they have preserved corpses and disected them to show the different parts of the body. There was much to learn. They showed what different organs do and gave lots of interesting facts (For example: Did you know that women have more tastebuds than men? Maybe that's why most guys will eat anything....) The picture in this blogpost is an example of the type of things we saw in the exhibit. All in all I really enjoyed myself. At times I had to tell myself that it was just a body... and to not freak out. After this exhibit though I became very grateful for this gift we have been given: our bodies! What an amazing piece of machinery!
