In the display, you get to see the human body, inside and out. They are real bodies, from those who, assuming I'm not mistaken, dedicated their bodies to science. The bodies are kept in tact using some sort of polymer preservation process. It's a great thing to check out if you want to know more about your body.
There are over 250 human specimens(bodies/organs) to check out in 9 different exhibits. The exhibit will be here through May 23 of 2010. I didn't realize how popular it was until I checked out the website. Not only have they gotten worldwide recognition, but the exhibition has had almost 15 million visitors! You get to see things that normally only a medical professional could. For those of you with skittish stomachs, don't worry, it's tastefully done! You can also find even more details on the website.

Product recommendation of the week: For those of you who are either broke or just trying to cut back on the sweets, Ben & Jerry's has come up with a nifty new idea: Mini ice cream! You can find them at Walmart for $1 each, and in quite a few flavors. It comes with a spoon, and the containers as small enough to satisfy your sweet tooth without making you feel like you need to visit the gym right afterwards.
I believe the word you're looking for is YUM!
