The excitement never ends...

  • I got tickets to see Radiohead in my very own neighborhood!

Today, I got to view and examine the cadavers at a local medical school!  And...

It was amazing! 

I have always been curious about human anatomy/how the body works; and, after reading Mary Roach's Stiff: The Curious Life of Human Cadavers, I became interested in donating my entire body to science after I die (rather than just organs/tissue).

The bodies I saw looked very much like that which the University of Wisconsin Medical School shows here. 

Furthermore, I've come to my own conclusion that preserved human cadavers look very much like turkey meat.  Today, I was very happy to be a pescetarian.
