Weekend in Baltimore


UNCLES HOUSE -- I went to Baltimore this weekend and it was pretty fun. I don't know if you guys have ever heard of this thing called Body Worlds. Basically, its a traveling exhibit that shows preserved human bodies. These bodies are preserved through a process called plastination where the water and fat that is left in the body is replaced by plastic so it doesn't decay. Anyways, it was really cool to see the carefully dissected parts of the human body. One of the coolest things I saw was a pregnant woman. You could see the developing fetus inside and everything was dissected and preserved perfectly. There was also this dissected out normal human lung and right next to it was a lung of a smoker and next to that was this box where people are asked if they want to quit smoking and I saw so many people throwing their packs of cigarettes away. The smoker lung was completely black... it was so disgusting. Anyways, if you guys ever get the chance to see this, you should check it out. Furthermore, I saw The Happening and I'm curious to see what yins think about it (if you've seen it). I wasn't very impressed but there were some pretty cool scenes. The idea of the movie was pretty interesting.
