Tonight I met up with my girlfriend, Julia. We went to see the Bodies exhibition down at south street seaport. I've been wanting to see this for some time and Julia called me last week asking me to come along.
What I saw was amazing. While we were in school, we were taught about our bodies. How it works, what's what. But here you get to see the real deal. Sure your teacher has a skeleton in her room, but it's fake. Here at the museum, what you see is all real. You see the bones, the muscles. You see it all. Umm yes, even the penis. Not that I'm some pervert looking at penises. Not at all. This is science, people, science. Though some were bigger than others, most penises were small.
It's just an amazing exhibit. You should see it at least once. But if you think you'll barf at the site of the bodies, you might want to stay out. There's no body decaying smell in there either. Makes you think more about your body. Don't take it for granted.

Sounds fascinating! Gee, I wish I'd gone to medical school.
Medical students were there and you could see the teacher explaining things to them. The exhibit is very useful. I can see this exhibit being around permanently.
never underestimate the power of shrinkage
...so I hear.
