Reminds me of Hellraiser.

That is crazy, I like that horse picture. If each human body takes 1500 hours, imagine how long that horse would have taken!

It reminds me of an exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago called "Human Body Slices" – 1/2-inch horizontal sections from a man's body and vertical sections from a woman's body preserved between two sheets of glass.

I was just at the MSI last week; the body slices are down for "maintainance" until sometime in 2005.

BUT ... Body Worlds is coming to the MSI in February. I seriously cannot wait; I've been dying (no pun intended) to see it for ages now.

That artist has all sorts of people after him with death threats. The people he uses donated their bodies to science and NOT art according to them.
