OK, JB, somebody has to ask, so it might as well be me. How did you wind up holding a human head? I'm assuming it wasn't attached to the rest of a person.

Damn you all. I bought the Iron Man mighty muggs figure today. Shopping for my sons 3rd birthday and picked up the Superfriends Batmobile. And a Batman figure. He has PJs with this version and likes it, so heres hoping it's a hit.

Aww, geez, Aaron! Don't I get to have NO mystery around me?
(Gary Cody used to work for the Medical Anatomy department of the
University of London, in Ontario. One day I stopped by his office and he
was working on some detailed drawings of the muscles of the human
head. For reference, he had a head -- actually, half a head, sliced
vertically down the center, skin removed -- sitting on one corner of his
drawing table. It was in a plexiglas case, but I picked it up and turned it
around, peering into the nooks and crannies and the one open, staring
eye. This used to be somebody. One of the odder experiences of
my life.)

JB, Everything about that situation is just wrong, man.
I used to work security at a hospital, and often had to grant access to the morgue for funeral home pick ups.
I peeked in on more than a couple autopsies-in-progress.
I still wouldn't put something like that on my desk tho'. :)

Lars & JB, closest I can come to a story like that is when I was in high school,
taking a health occupation course, we visited a hospital morgue.
There we saw a few bodies being wheeled by and were shown a placenta
(which felt and looked, appropriately, like a filter made of flesh) and a still
born which I held in my gloved hands (none of the other students would).
Weird and yet incredibly interesting.
G.

Hm. What did you think the people who illustrate medical textbooks
use for their models?

erm - speaking of which - there's an exhibit touring America (I've seen it in three cities now!) - called Bodies Revealed - which is a pretty wild thing - it's all real bodies, chopped up and displayed to show what makes a human. It's well worth the price of admission.
Check it out!
