1. Body Worlds 2 and the Three Pound Gem
Wednesday 11/28/2007 at 6:00pm
CA Contact: Julie (jlitze@stanford.edu)

Join your fellow Rainsians as we visit Gunther von Hagens' Body 
Worlds 2 & The Three Pound Gem: The Anatomical Exhibit of Real Human 
Bodies - the most popular museum exhibit in the world!  Body Worlds 
2 features more than 200 authentic human specimens preserved through 
Plastination, including whole bodies, individual organs, and 
transparent body slices. The exhibit offers visitors an in-depth 
view of the intricately designed human body, comparative anatomy 
showing wellness and disease, and the mysterious world of the brain. 
Compare a healthy lung to that of a smoker, see what lies beneath 
your skin, and learn the intricacies of the human body all with real 
human specimens.  This is an opportunity of a lifetime and is only 
in San Jose for a very limited engagement!    
  
Tickets are usually $22 for adults, but will only be $10 for Rains 
residents and $13 for guests. RSVP to Julie (jlitze@stanford.edu) by 
Wednesday, November 21 and please indicate whether or not you can 
drive. Deposits will be due by Monday, November 26. Rains can only 
guarantee tickets to the first 15 people who turn in their checks, 
but we will do our best to accommodate everyone who RSVP's! Carpools 
will leave from Willis at 6 PM on Wednesday, November 28, and should 
return to campus by 9:30 PM.
