Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Yay for the new TV!
I think it's that if it were bloody, or swollen, or festering, or oozing, or smelly -- I'd think it gruesome. But so systematically preserved? It's just COOL.
Jesse L. Martin is a very beautiful man.
My toaster is broken, so I crave nothing more than toast.
Well, okay, if the likes of Jesse L Martin showed up at my door, I'd at least defer the toast thing.
But if he were bringing me a toaster, he'd be the perfect man.
At the Museum of Science and Industry, they have some corpses that have been sliced into sections about 1/4" thick. Those are cool....
Mmm...Jesse Martin.
I realize I'm weirded out that TNT is still showing the ads with Jerry Orbach. Not Lenny, I can deal with Lenny. It's the not-in-character stuff that feels funny.
have you seen this book: Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers? Fascinating, and sometimes funny....
Cannibalism! Excellent!
This is what we want to see. So cool.
Maybe one of the cadavers will be a virgin.
This is what we want to see. So cool.
Ooh, I'd totally go see that....
The plastination technique replaces bodily fluids and fat with reactive polymers, such as silicone rubber, epoxy resins, or polyester. In a first phase, solvent gradually replaces bodily fluids in a cold solvent bath (freeze substitution). After dehydration, the specimen is put in a solvent bath at room temperature to dissolve and remove the fat. The dehydrated and defatted specimen is then placed into a polymer solution. The solvent is then brought to a boil in a vacuum and continuously extracted from the specimen. The evaporating solvent creates a volume deficit within the specimen, drawing the polymer gradually into the tissue. After the process of forced impregnation, the specimen is cured with gas, light, or heat, depending on the type of polymer used.
Of course, my first reaction to reading this was to wonder: If you did this to a live person, would you end up with a new superhero, Or a supervillian?
Since it sounds like it might be a tad painful, I'd say supervillain.
Maybe that's why it's raining. LA itself is sobbing that I left it.
So, as usual, LA has far too much control of the water supply in northern CA. Got it.
Wow...sounds like a lot of fun. I'd make a point of brooding all Hamlet-like; is this all man is?
My dad is cleaning his computer room. Mostly, he's getting rid of ancient computer stuff. He has some old Daisy wheels, for ancient printers or typewriters and I'm sure more to come. Is it even worth offering this type of stuff here?
