plastination is kinda creepy

so, you might have already heard about this but.. the ontario science centre has just opened up a show called "BODY WORLDS 2" it's an educational show about anatomy. but the crazy thing is that these are not models. they are REAL people - check this out->i saw the inventor of plastination, Gunther von Hagens being interviewed on tv the other night - and he was explaning how he places the cadavers in action poses. they are still gooey and soft when he "moulds" them. urgh... did i mention that he has an indiana jones like style?
