Or Maybe a Spider-Man Mask! A Batman Cowl? KISS Make-up?
My friend is studying to be a...surgeon? I'm not sure. For whatever reason, she's studying Extreme! Anatomy! and this week, viewed and ran experiments on her first cadaver. We had the following exchange, which has pretty much made my day:
Friend Studying Cadavers: It was a really old guy who died in like 2002.
Ryan: So he was all gross.
FSC: No. If they're properly embalmed, bodies stay in the same condition for about eighty years.
Ryan: Wow, I didn't know that. He smelled though?
FSC: Yeah, he stunk.
Ryan: I heard their eyes deflate.
FSC: Yeah, but we didn't see his eyes. His face was covered.
Ryan: Oh, well that's nice. A little dignity.
FSC: Not really. It was covered with an old wife-beater.
So, kids, the moral is: if you donate your body to science, maybe add a clause for sleep masks, or at least a peacock feather or something. A dirty old wife-beater? Come on, you ain't goin' out like that.

Whoa. I decided a while back that I'll give them all the organs and tissue they want...just not the body. But, I salute those that do. But, I agree..something beyond a wife beater, please. Didn't they have any of that funny blue fur they cover the folding chairs with at the funeral home?
