Bodies: The Exhibition

Bodies:

When I was in Las Vegas last week I went to Bodies the Exhibit, and I must say this ROCKED!!! There were stellar models made from real human bodies in all sorts of positions. This exhibit takes a linear look at the body, by dividing it systemically. The exhibit starts with the Skeletal system, then Muscular and so on. The detail of each model was truly epic. Each vein, nerve, and Aveoli bundle were perfectly in tact. I would say this exhibit is a must see 9.5 out of 10. I was fascinated by each anatomical structure as I saw it encased and perfectly preserved in either a jar or on a human body. I must say after taking Anatomy and Physiology this exhibit was even more interesting. In short this thing was straight up cool.

A Short Video About The Exhibit:

I'm an addict. Are you?

1) Digg is the first place you visit online. Bonus points if it's your homepage.

-The first place I visit every time, I even have it on my phone.

2) You check Digg more than once a day because you're scared you're going to miss out on a great story if you leave it until tomorrow to check again.

-I check Digg on my freaking phone for crying out loud!! I check it at least 30 times a day. It's gotten to be ridiculous.

3) You visit Digg so much that the newest story is STILL the newest story the next time you visit.

-Happened twice today

4) If you don't have access to a computer for a few days, you'll still go back twenty or thirty pages through articles to make sure you've not missed anything important while you've been gone.

-I do this too the problem is you can't easily troll through the upcoming articles after their life has ended. Digg talk for can't do it enough.

5) You never need to check the "Top in 24 hours", "7 Days" etc. pages. You've already seen every story on there as they were being dugg.

-I looked at it once and I had clicked on every single link.

6) You've browsed Upcoming Stories because you want to make the first funny comment on that article you've found and get people to digg you up more.

-I do this more now that I've been on digg for a year. It makes me feel good.

7) You increase the size of the Upcoming Stories cloud text because you want to make sure you read every single article title.

-I would, but I just RSS feed everything to my everything so I know when a new article hit's the front page the second the feed is updated.

8) You feel kind of honoured if Kevin Rose joins in a comment thread that you're part of.

-Heck yes I would be honored.

9) You feel like Kevin Rose has become your personal friend, even though you've never talked to him.

-He and I go way back, way back.

10) You like digging up/digging down every comment for an article. It just feels better when all those thumbs are finally greyed out.

I hate seeing red and green it's all Grey for me.

11) It really bugs you if you get dugg down, regardless of what you've said.

-Especially if it was pro-firefox.

12) You go back and check for replies to your comments more than once. In fact, you check daily.

-Daily? Try Hourly.

13) You feel really downhearted when no one replies to your comment or diggs you up.

-Well it hurts a little, yeah.

14) You kind of hope people will think you're cool enough to view your profile and visit your personal website via it.

-I hope, but I know it's not true.

15) You wish more of your real life friends knew about and were addicted to Digg as much as you are.

-Exactly!!! Why isn't everyone else as addicted as I am?!! Digg.com Freaking Rocks!!!
