Sun. Jan. 7

All right, we were remiss in getting "Body Worlds 2," the controversial exhibition at the Museum of Science up on the site. That's because we squeamingly kept sitting on the fence: Is the exposure of the tissue of real dead humans, posed and plastinated for edification or entetairnment, science, grotesquery or some combination thereof? We'd have to say this is less shocking than it would have been the pre-"CSI" days, where autopsies and graphic depictions of damage done to the body are routine. If nothing else Gunther von Hagen's should provoke conversation ... like what do you want done to your body after death? Does it matter? Should you donate organs if you can? (Yes). Should you take up precious earth or be cremated? Should you sign yourself over to von Hagans and tour the world like Cher? We're putting this up on the site now because it really is coming to an end Jan. 7 and 500,000 people have already streamed through. Thje daytime hours for Sunday are likely sold out. But you can go real early to 6 a.m or mapybe after 9 p.m. Check with the MoS. Tickets: $16.
