Yesterday, Brian and I went to the Brogan Museum to see an exhibit about the human body. It was a little creepy but also really interesting. The bodies came from China and were actual people, preserved and partially disected to show various parts of the human body. I thought that the skeletal and muscular systems were most interesting, but they also had reproductive, endochrine, circulatory, etc. The fellow pictured below is one of the first people we saw (these are pictures from online--actual photography in the exhibit was prohibited).
Along with the full bodies partially dissected, they also had a lot of individual organs preserved, like this kidney. The brains and bladder were quite interesting in my opinion. The most scarring part for Brian was the placenta display (at least, he seemed scarred).
The circulatory displays were quite pretty (lots of tiny red veins), but I an generally more interested in the muscular/skeletal side of things (more related to my work).

Interesting!
Nice flower pictures, too. I saw and smelled lots of flowers down at the Bay Hills Country Club last Saturday in Orlando. Someone said they saw Arnold Palmer (this is sort of his course) but I did not. (I was just there for dinner, not to play.)
So two of the little mammals have a birthday! I thought that three of them were born on the same day??
Love, Dad
