Editor's note: Much of this blog entry has been lifted from a post card the blogger wrote to her friend Julie.
Not to be mistaken for
Ringo, my favorite
Beatle,
The Ringman was my favorite part of the Body Worlds 2 exhibit at the
Denver Museum of Nature and Science, which I saw with
Alexand my friend
Molly on July 11.
All the bodies in the exhibit are created from real human bodies. Check out his hands. I think his nose and the backs of his feet were my favorite discoveries.
Can you imaginebuying the hoops and rope to hang him up? What an errand.
The store clerk asks if you need help.
"Yeah," you answer. "I need some stuff to hang up a dead guy."
Body Worlds 2was very interesting. And Molly had to suffer my bad puns-- "That's so unnerving," I said at the first display that showed the human nervous system.
I've forgotten my other bad puns (lucky you!) and Ithought of other ones after the exhibit. I also wrote a haiku in the guest book at the end.
The haiku was a little better than the puns.
If you have time, you can still catch the exhibit, though it's not cheap at $22 for an adult ticket if you're not a museum member. The exhibit's open through July 23 and the hours for Body Worlds 2 have been extended so that you can start viewing it at 10:30 in the evening some nights. We were there for two hours and it closes at midnight.
