Don't go to the Bodies exhibit - the exhibit has been charged for possibly showing bodies of Chinese prisoners that have been executed. While they're forced to provide written warning in New York, they have not done so here; furthermore, their employees have blatantly lied to me when I originally questioned them about the origin of the bodies ("the families gave their consent") - at the time, I was unaware of the controversy surrounding the exhibit, so did not seek further clarification.

Again, do not go. See:

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BODIES..._The_Exhibition:

BODIES... The Exhibition is a controversial exhibition showcasing preserved human bodies dissected to display bodily systems. It opened in Tampa, Florida on August 20, 2005[1]. It is similar to, though not affiliated with, the exhibition Body Worlds (which opened in 1995). BODIES... is currently showing in Vienna, Madrid, Buenos Aires, Barcelona, Cincinnati, Santiago de Chile, Branson, Prague, Budapest, Lisbon, Atlantic City, Pittsburgh, San Diego, Las Vegas, New York, Fort Lauderdale, Hartford, San Antonio,Washington D.C, Honolulu, and Indianapolis.

Bodies...The Exhibition is operated by Premier Exhibitions [2] which presents, and promotes other bodies exhibits including Bodies Revealed, and Our Body: The Universe Within; and other entertainment exhibits such as Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition and Titanic Science; Sports Immortals and The Traveling Exhibition; and Dialog in the Dark.

What a shame. I went to see Bodies in Cincy and it was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend it for anyone with teenagers and for adults interested in science.

This story intrigued me, but the thread was even more fun to read.
