Science Museum

We took the family to a science museum yesterday where there was an exhibit on the human body. One part of the exhibit was a hologram of a human body showing nerves, blood vessels, etc, depending on where you were standing.

While we were looking at the hologram, these two obnoxious middle aged ladies told us to move because they couldn’t see. Then they told us we were looking at it wrong and that we’d see it better from farther away, as well as spouting some other nonsense. We kind of just looked at them and left the exhibit. As we were leaving, we heard one of them comment: "Oh, they're not interested in learning."

Clearly, these two women were great experts on the human body.

Later, I observed them looking at an exhibit of the male urinary tract, which included the bladder leading to a urethra that went through the penis. As one of the women contemplated this model, she queried: "So how does the baby get out?"

  1. Clearly these two women were experts in OB/GYN, Fizzy. You would have paid closer attention to the rest of their dialogue if you were truly interested in learning.

  2. Oh I could have had so much fun with those two ladies and I'm not a doctor, just a woman who has kids and paid attention in my High School health and Science classes. Wow. How did you keep your mouth shut? I bow down to your self control.

  5. I'm surprised they don't know that all babies carried by men are born via c-section /sarcasm.

  6. No way, QLC. Everyone knows (via rule 34, thank you), that male pregnancies result in ass-babies.
