Yeah, it's pretty much exactly what it sounds like: Posted by: NMI at March 29, 2008 02:15 AM Rather haphazard conversion beween feet and meter in the original article. 2.5 meters (the loss in length) is 8 feet, not 7 (assuming the international convention 1 foot = 0.3048 m). Other conversions are less blatantly off, but still oddly so. Posted by: Anders Thulin at March 31, 2008 01:36 AM This sounds like the same process as "Body Works", which has been touring with plastinated human bodies. I went to see this in Boston with my daughter's science class a year or 2 back. Most interesting.
