Now here's a body display worth talking about...

I've seen this show-- it is STUNNING.

Is it art? I don't know. What is "art" anyway? It certainly makes you think and see things a little differently.

3. He should have ...

He should have consent of anyone who's corpse he displays in this way. In other words, they must consent to donate their body before they die.

7. He says people sign releases
to be plastinized and displayed after death. But, who knows.

I can't quite decide if it's offensive or not. I do find him goulish, though.

5. That's BigbooTAY
Welcome to DU! And fine moniker you've got there--Buckaroo Bonzai's one of my all-time favorites. Lock down your oscillation overthruster 'n' clear the launch grid! Here come the Hong Kong Cavaliers.....
