Today we went down to see the Bodies Exhibition at the Science Center.  Definitely different and I thought it was pretty interesting.  It amazes me how much time must have went in to preserving and presenting all those nerves, arteries, and veins.  Very intricate work.

They had a display that shows healthy lungs vs a smoker’s lungs.  Huge difference.  The smoker’s lungs were really black while the non-smoker’s lungs were pinkish and healthy looking.  There was a clear bin near the display that had a bunch of discarded cigarette packs.   Above the bin was a statistic I never knew - Every pack of cigarettes you smoke takes 2 hours and 20 minutes off your life.

I have no idea if that is true, but if so, it is sobering.
