I See Dead People...and Winnie the Pooh


My cousin from Vic came over to the 'Couv this weekend with her hubby and stayed with us for the evening. We played some board and card games and ate copious of Thai food all in preparation for our Sunday morning visit to Body Worlds 3 at Science World. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_Worlds

Going on the very last day of the exhibit was slightly annoying because everyone in Vancouver was there but with a little patience and time, we were able to get up close and personal with loads of dead people encased in plastic. It was a really cool thing to go see and also sorta creepy. I had no idea we are all made up of so much and this exhibit showed it all in amazing detail...every tendon, vein...everything! Highlights include: the hella cool dad explaining what testicles are to his 3 young daughters pointing with curiousity at the guy with quite a pair and of course the stupid Latina who did not read the brochure or obviously have neither tv, radio or internet because she had to ask her boyfriend half way through if these were real people.

After the exhibit we were all starving so we headed off to Earl's where we figured they would have something to eat for everyone in the group. We were greeted at the door by no one other than Winnie the Pooh! This blonde waif of a girl was the hostess and she was wearing a long sweater (just barely covered past her butt), no stockings and little ballerina flats...Keep in mind it was -6 outside and she did a poor job of shaving her legs. Perhaps I am a little conservative on the fashion scene but I do not know anyone other than Winnie the Pooh who can get away with going out in public with only his shirt on!
