Oh to be dead....
On Tuesday I took a trip with two or my more mature friends to see Bodies the Exhibition: A phenomenal Look at the phenomena we call the human body.
Friend One: Eric – writer for a tv show, where the star puts food on his face.
Friend Two: Ben – alcoholic & Casanova – in that order.
Me: I like poop jokes and crazy fetuses
This trip was gonna RAWK!
Bodies the Exhibition basically is 5 rooms full of real bodies and body parts. Nothing came across gross to me, all of it was real, although it looked fake at some points because of the technique they used to preserve. After later research I learned that there has been some controversy with how the bodies were obtained. They all came from a Chinese University and were either Poor, unclaimed or unidentified.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Two year old girl running around a skeleton while her mother just asked her to “calm down.” She was not asked to stop running around this poor skeleton, just to calm down.
A patient serial killer had been born.
The full corpse with his layers of muscles cut and splayed out, and Eric wondering if the body would mind if he ate some of his beef jerky. (he looked like beef jerky). You had to be there. Wait you get it? okay good.
The butt holes, and the hair that remained on them.
THE FETUS ROOM!!!!
This was my favorite part. There were so many poor, unclaimed and unidentified Fetuses.
The coolest were the ones that had their organs removed, and then their bones were filled with black and red die. I was waiting for these things to bust out of their cases, form an army and make the 2 year old their leader.
The set of breasts with cancer: Eric and Ben both appreciated woman a lot more.
Then we moved to the next room and they thumb blasted a British woman.
Making fart noises.
The Comments.
At the end of the exhibit, they had a table with binders of loose-leaf paper that were to be used for comments on what we liked or disliked about the exhibit. As three comedians, we realized we would never be able to top the shit that was in these books.
Comment highlights: (as exact as I can remember)
“You need more straight up dead people.”
“I noticed a lot of the bodies were Chinese. More diversity would be nice. Also serve Sushi at the end, and more dinosaurs.” (with a drawing of a giant dinosaur)
A drawing of a slice of Pepperoni and Fetus Pizza.
Then we drove to a diner and ate burgers, chicken fingers, and unborn chicken eggs.

I saw this exhibit the day after you! I thought they could have done more with the fetuses - I wasn't as startled as I had hoped. But then I have jars of fetuses all over my apartment, so maybe I'm just used to it.
Did you see the goiter!?! It was amazing!!

Eric wanted to eat the goiter also - "It looks like Ham Steack." He also wanted to eat that tumor with teeth in it. man i wish I could have taken photos.
my favorite part was the pregnant lady with the flap cut out of her belly so you could see her unborn baby. It was like looking inside a set of russian nesting dolls.
Aso, there was one lady in the reproductive room who had HUGE labia minora. Did you notice them?

Yes! That baby inside the Lady was awesome! I forgot. I wish that was on a t-shirt in a gift shop.
I did not notice the labia - i was busy keeping the boys fingers away from them.

I noticed the asshole hair too, and some of the female specimens still had a little bit of thatch on their thighs if you looked closely.
I agree with you that it looked fake at times because of the way the meat turns out after they freeze dry it or whatever it is they do. It looked like resin they make models out of.
The goiter made me want a steak-um.
