Talbot Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 I would charge them a fee just to get close to it, and then another fee for catching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roaches are everywhere this time of year. One women told me a story about how roaches would sneak up on her bed and run. Could you imagine if a rat did that!? Good stuff to get rid of them Borid acid. Terminex uses it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasArchitect Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 It's Houston. In the Spring. Couldn't they just open the doors and wait for the roaches to fly right in?HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, that's funny cuz it probably would work, LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vertigo58 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Lucy has become the latest media darling, see the latest:http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metrop...ckCurrentPage=2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Now that we're nearing the end of Lucy's visit here in Houston, I was honestly surprised how many people actually came to Houston with the sole intention of just going to see Lucy. After talking to more than a few clients, casual conversation with hotel and staff, I was a bit taken aback by this information. Several people I dealt with flew from Europe (scotland and Germany specifically) just to see Her and were very pleased and surprised about what Houston had to offer. Of course, the lingering complaint I heard was the lack of transit options. Makes me wonder if HMNS has stats about visitors seeing her?

nativehou Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 We're only halfway through her visit -- it runs until late April. So the final impact won't be known for some time.I know they've gotten money from me and will get more -- I went once by myself, once with the spouse, and will go this week again with my kid. On the days we can all go together it's too crowded! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowbrow Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I had a ethiopian coworker in from our Oslo offoce a few weeks back. He got to walk a bunch of my coworkers through the exhibit, I just wish I could have joined them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicman Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I was talking to my friend who works at the museum. expect a version of this to return this fall. the originator had enough plastinates to do three or four shows simo so hopefully it will be another success.

sevfiv Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I would like to check it out if it returns in some form...I had tickets to go last time, but it was so incredibly busy I just gave up.

bachanon Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 it was truly surreal. it's hard to believe that it is real human flesh and organs. i left feeling heavy. a part of me was completely excited and fascinated. the other part (of me) was horrified and grossed out. i hope we get another show. my parents missed out last time around.

memebag Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 (edited) I don't get the excitement over this. Are the insides of these Chinese prisoners really more interesting than the insides of the hobos in my crawlspace?

tanith27 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I found this exhibit very fascinating and had no 'eww, gross' aftereffects from it. Its real, but also fake. Remember there is no organic matter left, all you're seeing is plastic and rubber. It just so happens to be anatomically correct plastic and rubber. Nature does the same thing too: don't forget there is no wood in petrified wood, its all silica replacement, and some fossils that we see on store shelves are pure stone, with no organics whatsoever all having been replaced by minerals over time. The ethics of this is an entirely different discussion of course... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vertigo58 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 The ethics of this is an entirely different discussion of course... Got that right. Mankind has hit an all time low. This all makes Norman Bates & Hannibal Lechter seem like quite normal everyday people. Desensitized world and we wonder why others kill others with no kind of afterthought. Ok I'll stop. I'll just cave in and buy one of those real human-skinned lamp shades on E-Bay. and show Tx Chainsaw Massacre to grade school kids at recess.

lockmat Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Went to the one in Vegas and will probably go to this one next week. I think our Weiss tour guide said the new dinosour exhibit is the first time it's ever been shown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always show those Body Worlds commercials while I'm eating.Body Worlds WikipediaThe previous exhibit was Body Worlds 3: The Story of the Heart. Part 2 concerns the nervous system.I went to BWs 3 and was very impressed... the body's are really works of art, in addition to being educational. Preserving delicate structures is technically difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
