« Texas consumers to elected leaders: "Please listen to us." | Main | Staci Kramer on BlogHer » Ooky Corpses Maida Barbour sent me a link to a piece about an "ooky" corpse exhibit, "Human Body World," at Mannheim's Museum of Technology and Work.

Don't they read the bible? Clay, or dust according to some accounts, was what we are made of.
God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being." Genesis 2:4-7
What's wrong with reverse engineering? Can they have their designer story without the made from dirt story?
Sorry, can't help but be ironic.
