En-gross-ing :)

En-"gross"-ing :)

Not a very pleasant way to start a Monday morning, I know but the idea of this "science in disguise" exhibit brought a smile when I first spotted it at the local science center just outside my school here. The exhibit based on a bestselling book (by the same name) for kids, claims that it "explores all the slimy, mushy, oozy, scaly, and stinky gross (yet scientific) things that occur everyday in the human body".One can even test one's "Grossology IQ" with a multiple-choice challenge!!!!

Have a Happy or shall I say En-gross-ing Monday :)

Actually, I'm sure it's quite an interesting exhibit! I should check it out the next time I'm up there, maybe I'll learn something.

Hey "Moi", is that the "Mozi"?

...I'm back, come on over!

Chad Oneil Myers said...

Moi,
I'm glad you like my new look.

Yeah, I used to pass "MOSI" four times a week on my way to and from "Tampa Tech" back in 1999 and 2000. I would take I-4 to 75 then Fowler to Busch.

Something tells me that my boys would love that exhibit! :) Great shots that I have missed! Hope that you are well!

the picture says it all. an odd exhibition, it must have been.

JAM said...

I don't have a weak stomach for such things, but I just don't like gross stuff.

Engineering's much neater and cleaner. A childhood friend of mine has been a pathologist for years and has many stories of liquified human remains and whatnot. I don't see how he does it.

Cris said...

Very impolite, heheeh, oh but who does not do gross things?

Kate said...

I guess gross is in the eye of the beholder! I'd like to see it.
