content: Having always been fascinated with human anatomy, I did toy with the idea of being a neurosurgeon.  My decision against pursuing that idea has and will continue to save(d) countless human lives (and pain and suffering caused by ensuing lawsuits and / or legal proceedings).  \n\nNonetheless, the subject never ceases to amaze me.  Which is why when BODIES... The Exhibition made its way to Silicon Valley, I was looking forward to perusing a variety of polymer-preserved body parts whilst recalling the materials from the Human Anatomy class that I took during my freshman year.\n\nAllow two hours to go through the various sections (no pun intended) of the exhibition: skeletal, muscular, respiratory, circulatory, and nervous system.  Allow extra time in the circulatory system section - see what you would have looked like you are stripped off everything else but your heart, veins and arteries.  Look at what a blackened pair of lungs look like and wish that you had stuck to that new year's resolution of yours.  Touch the parts that they have so kindly taken out for the benefit of the visitors (it was a heart and a liver - it feels almost like made-in-china plastic toys *inside joke for those of you who got it*).  Better still, be slightly disturbed by conjoined fetus or (*censored*)... \n\nYes, you do have a choice of skipping the last exhibit - fetal development.  And for that very reason, I will not describe what the highlight of that exhibit is.  \n\nBut before that, visit TIX 4 TONIGHT to get $10 off your $31 admission.    We did not.
