No time for the Thursday Thirteen this week! Check here next week, same Bat time, same Bat channel, and it will be here.

We finally got to see the Bodyworlds exhibit that I've been so excited about for months now! It was amazing, just absolutely fabulous. Seriously, get in your car and drive to the nearest town that's hosting this exhibit, you'll be glad you did.

One scary thing, though. They had several sections of the blackened lungs of smokers to view (the best news I can give you is that the lung from the guy who worked in the coal mines was worse, other than that it's all bad) and some tissue from other disease processes, like skin cancer, arthritis, liver cirrhosis etc. And, they had cross-sections of a person who weighed 120 lbs at death and one who weighed 300 lbs at death to compare. Being a fat girl myself, it was interesting, yet sobering to look at how much the extra adipose can affect every organ...not that it's news, you just don't normally get a real-life, inside-out eyefull of it for yourself.

My mother in law decided she wanted to leave the museum, and go home and eat nothing but salads from now on. I agreed, there's nothing worse than thinking about leaving your body to a project like this, and ending up being a DON'T for generations to come...
