1. I'd imagine it would be very creepy...

...especially if you don't like to see the dead innards of people.

3. yes!! I loved it! But then, I enjoy my medical dictionary.

First time I went I was not disappointed. Some reallll gross outs!!!

Second time I went, it had been banal-ized to satisfy the outrage of some family purity protect the children types.

Geez, if they're against shocking medical conditions, they shouldn't have gone in the first place.

Stillborns in jars at the Museum. Some of the babies were deformed or they were missing different body parts. They also had Siamese twins and underdeveloped triplets in larger jars. They also had body parts with tumors, hands and feet with extra didgets in jars. :scared:

5. yep--really horrific. Better than an old fashioned carny freak show!!

I'm bad, I know. But I've always loved the macabre. Not very PC of me I guess...heh.

They had all kinds of tragic specimens, yep. Second time I went, I don't remember except that it was a pale shadow of its former self. I was really disappointed.

hey, BTW, I love your icon and your sig pic. Toooooo cute! (weird, I know; I love bizarre medical gross outs, and lovable cute animals. :shrug: )
