Corpses and Fondue

Lori and I went to see Body World in Salt Lake City this afternoon. Though the lines were long, the exibit was fantastic. It was amazing to see how the human body is assembled. The processes they used allowed the different systems--circulatory, nervous, etc.-- to be isolated so you could just focus on that system. For instance, there were bodies showing the entire circulatory system in bright red. Another body had been completely removed except for the nervous system.

Each of the full body displays showed the bodies in artful, athletic positions. For instance, one man was throwing a javelin...another was holding a woman over his head in a dancing position. Each of the bodies was "fillet'd" in a differnt fashion, exposing the different muscle groups, organ groups, or skeletal groups, etc.

Next we ran over to the Melting Pot for a fantastic, though expensive meal. Our favorite was the cheese fondue (cheddar with a little lager beer) and the chocolate-peanut butter dip for fruit and cheesecake. I also enjoned the smoked salmon.
