theme parks
barnum and bailey
the usual roly coasters and twirl till ya pukes... and maybe some neat
stuff too like those new motion theateres (the ones where the chairs
have seatbelts and move to the movie via hydraulics)
maybe have the chairs follow some neat hard core sex scenes.
(seat belts required!!)
or try some of that new micro mini photography using those new
cameras...like folow an egg down the fallopian tubes and follow a
sperm from balls to where it meetsa egg. with all the twists and turns
and bumps, those chairs will be quite a ride... oh and lots of squishy
sounds (since you will be in effect right in the middle of a sex act,
complete with thrusting penis and contracting vagina)

Already done it, many years ago. Got an A.T. concept award too,
if I'm not mistaken.
I'd repost it or send you a copy, but I'm too busy vomiting and
wheezing and dealing with the "red-hot spikes in my eyes" feeling
I get when Tallahassee is surrounded by a yellow cloud of pollen.
Gawd I gate this place.

How about the "Sex museum" in
Amsterdam? It's on about 3 floors, and
contains such delights as a model of a dick
infected with syphelis (sp), sex cartoons (for
the kiddies?), and a continuous video display
of a woman chained from above at the wrists,
being branded, and having weights attached
to the labia.
I can't remember what else was on display.
Anyone else been there?

I knew I had a list of similar museums floating around, so here's a few
interesting ones from all over. Remember, these are intended for educating
medical students, not as entertainment, so keep the knives, forks, and
squicking tools out of sight until the coast is clear...
MUSEUM VROLIK, AMSTERDAM MEDICAL CENTER:
Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
This museum contains one of the largest collections of deformed baby feti(sp?)
in jars and a wall of deformed skulls, deformed baby skeltons, two-headed babies,
two bodied sharing a head, and a blob of flesh with a face.
MUTTER MUSEUM, COLLEGE OF SURGEONS:
Phillidelphia, PA.
This musem contains deformed skulls, things people have swallowed, old
gynecological tools, deformed baby skeletons, and some ossified skeletal
remains (that means "soup corpse").
FETUS COLLECTION, TULANE MEDICAL SCHOOL:
New Orleons.
This museum is a restricted area, so get a student to take you and don't
gape too long at the freaks. The exhibit, on the third floor, starts
innocently enough as a "growth of a fetus" progression, but further
down the line, deformities are displayed. By the time the end of the
hall is reached, it's freak show time. Be sure to see the "goat-boy
baby" near the end, complete with horns and hoof hands. Oh yeah, there's
mirrors behind the exhibits so you can see the backs.
NATIONAL MUSEUM OF HEALTH AND MEDICINE, WALTER REED MEDICAL
CENTER:
Washington, DC.
Located next to the Smithsonian, it's possible that the "John Dillenger's
20-inch penis" story got started when someone walked in by accident
and saw the elephantitis of the genitals exhibit. This museum may have
closed up, but I'm not certain.
HUNTERIAN MUSEUM, ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS:
London.
You must be with a doctor to get into this one, but this is where
the bones od the Elephant Man are on exhibit.
MORGUE MUSEUM:
New York City.
This museum contains mummified babies, a cyclops baby, and an eight-pound
heart.
WAYNE COUNTY MORGUE MUSEUM:
Detroit, Michagan.
This museum contains shriveled heads and penises, gouged skulls, and
mummified hands.
ANATOMY MUSEUM:
Basel, Switzerland.
This musuem contains very old fetuses and skeletons.
KULTURAMA:
Zurich, Switzerland.
This museum contains painted (?) and posed skeletons, preserved emryos and
organs, and features a birth control display.
KUNSTKAMMER SECTION OF ST. PETERSBURG MUSEUM:
St. Petersburg, Russia.
This museum contains a collection of Peter the Great (apparently he collected
stuff?): one eyed babies, a four-legged rooster, and a pickled child's arm
holding a human eyeball.
MUSEUM OF MEDIEVAL TORTURE:
Torture in Milan, Italy.
This museum is located within walking distance to the church with Leonardo's
Last Supper and contains lots of gruesome devices.
Lastly, I recall hearing somewhere about a museum in Paris (circa late 18th
century) dedicated to the evils of masturbation.

The old Army medical museum is located at Walter Reed is DC and I
have not heard any mention at all of it being closed.
ObT ... The Army museum was moved from the mall beside the original
Smithsonian building to make way for a more tasteful museum, the
Hirschhorn Museum of Art. One of the very first showings was
paintings of Viet Nam events.

It's nowhere near the Smithsonian. Walter Reed is off of Rt. 97,
Georgia Ave. NW. It's a few miles from the Maryland line, and isn't in
a good section of town, unless you're there to buy malt liquor or
crack. And the museums still there, but I think the fetus exhibit is
gone for good. That must have been some garage sale.
An eBay search on "deformed" didn't turn up any fetuses. Damn.

My favorite is still the Museum of Death in San Diego...they have some of
the finest crime scene and accident photos it has been my pleasure to
behold, they also have a special "serial killer" room with paintings by
Gacy, Manson, and that idiot Richard Ramirez. Upstairs they have a freak
museum which is also worth checking out.

"The Military Channel" (seen while channel switching at a motel last
night) had a film on the National Museum of Health, etc. They showed
part of the deformed fetus collection in that film.

Aww, this is really disappointing news. I lived in Washington
DC for a short bit as a kid, and the Walter Reed emergency room was
where we went if we got sick (standard military hospital). I remember
having to wait around for quite a while for some test results, a prescription,
or who knows what, and my mom taking me down to see the deformed babies
to pass the time.
ObT: I have a book on embryology from the thirties that I got at a garage
sale back in elementary school (that and the "how conditions in mental
institutions shape patients' bizarre behavior" book made for some pretty
good reading). This book is heavy on the drawings, not so heavy on
the photos, but the drawings are quite realistic, and what photos exist
are typically of preserved slices of various parts of the body. This
book had an entire chapter on "teratology" (hey, try putting that in
Altavista!) with detailed drawings of the various types of conjoined
twins, both equal and unequal.
The most memorable of these was a drawing, from life, of a normal twin
connected to a small, deformed head by a long cord. There was also a
composite drawing of a woman with breasts drawn on in every position
breasts have been found on humans. Somewhere out there there are people
with breasts on the backs of their arms and legs. Seems it would hurt
to sit.

Actually humans (and other two-breasted mammalian types I suppose) can
have a functional breast anywhere on the "milk line", which is a ducted
line that runs down both sides of the torso, usually only ventrally,
though. That's why you'll see or hear of folks (men too) that have extra
nipples, 4 breasts, that sort of thing. Roll a dog or cat over for an in
vivo demonstration of the milk lines.
Seems odd to have them coming out of non-milk line areas of the body,
though...

Well, if you had one on your nose, you'd never be able to tell when

A deeper sniff told me that for some reason it smelled just like that

Leave it to chicks to lose sight of what's really important
and focus on all the peripheral complications of having
breasts on unusual parts of the body.
It's not about PMS. It's not about a good night's sleep. A
breast on the back of your head is all about...

ObT: A health club in South Florida has officially banned
soap in the locker room showers. Seems they got sued one
too many times by some Einstein who didn't know showers are
slippery. The new, soapless showers will be 100% safe
since, of course, no one will have any reason to go in them.

but a repost from the archives..
At the creepy museum of Dr. Fragonard, every day is Halloween
MAISONS-ALFORT, France (AP) -- From a distance, the galloping horse
and rider look tame enough. Come a little closer, though, and yikes! Neither
man nor animal has any skin. Tendons and ligaments bulge on their bodies,
and the rider's eyes pop out like grapes. The French may not celebrate
Halloween, but every day is creepy at the museum of Honore Fragonard, an
18th century anatomist who sculpted with cadavers instead of clay. The ''art''
here is guaranteed to thrill scare-seekers from any country. Bizarre doesn't
begin to describe this place.
Remember the sexually confused wacko in ''The Silence of The Lambs'' who
stitched himself a jacket from the skins of young women? He would have
gotten along with Dr. Fragonard, France's answer to Dr. Frankenstein. It's
hard to believe he was a cousin of the French master Jean-Honore
Fragonard, famed for his paintings of sun-dappled landscapes and rosy-
cheeked cherubs that grace the Louvre. This Fragonard's brushes were
scalpels, his canvases the bodies of men and beasts. Carefully skinned,
preserved and posed, they reveal what fascinated their maker but repulses
many visitors -- the hidden world of blood vessel and bone, of muscle and
flesh.
''The guy was obsessed. I think he went a little too far,'' said Colin Herrick, a
tourist from San Francisco gawking at the mummified bodies of three
skinned human babies. Reeking of formaldehyde, the Fragonard Museum is
housed in three rooms of the fortress-like National Veterinary School in
Maisons-Alfort, a bleak industrial town on the eastern outskirts of the French
capital. Just upstream on the Seine looms the Charenton insane asylum.
After seeing his work, Fragonard's contemporaries concluded that's where he
belonged.
Over at the skinned babies, the tourist from San Francisco ponders one
posed like a miniature Humphrey Bogart, with one hand on a hip and the
other bent at the elbow as if holding an unseen cigarette. ''These guys look
like little aliens,'' said Herrick. ''Incredible. You couldn't do better than this in
a high-budget horror flick.'' Indeed, it doesn't take much imagination to see
the equestrian statue -- ''Le Cavalier'' -- as a kind of Freddy Krueger on
horseback, and the whole museum as the Nightmare on Avenue de Gaulle.
Fragonard set up the museum himself in 1766 at the school, where he was a
teacher. Distressed by the sinewy sculptures, the school fired Fragonard in
1771 -- but it kept the museum. Even stranger, perhaps, was Fragonard's
popularity among members of the aristocracy, who liked to keep ''curious''
objects in their homes. By the time Fragonard died in 1799, at age 66,
hundreds of his sculptures were serving as icebreakers at dinner parties.
Imagine one of these in your living room: A jar of fluid containing a lamb with
10 legs. The dried trachea of a steer, branching out like a Bonsai tree. Or a
llama looking none too friendly without its fur. ''Fragonard was crazy or a
genius,'' said Daniel Brunet, a high school student who looked a bit pale as he
left the museum. ''Tonight, when I can't sleep, I'll figure out which.''
Also, Reykjavik has a penis museum, but I didn't get round to visiting !

If you mean the overripe piss smell of urea that is in the setting solution
then you
are merely a stinker.
If you are referring to the smell of hair spray then it could be a symptom
of
ketoacidosis and you should seek medical attention.

Or you need to tell your hairdresser to lay off on the 'spray when
