This show is awesome, they disect humans showing all their internal s***. Not for the weak hearted, interesting though.

Also show, on now!

Contains Nudity.

omg

i dropped the remote when i saw that

They've been showing that quite a bit recently on SBS. I've seen it on a couple nights.

The noodles in my plate all the sudden looked like someone's intestines.

jesus f***ing christ

a mate msn'd me about this

The other night he sliced a brain into 1cm chunx with this machine. The guy is crazy...seriously, who wears an undertaker hat like that all the time?

perfect, I used to be able to get sbs just fine with my hdtv card, trust tonight for it to not work. I bet those damn birds sat on my aerial and moved it again *shakes fist*

Is he dissecting any hot bitches?

He soooo looks AND sounds like the spy dude from the commandos game.

He did that in the bushland before he arrived at the set.

that was pretty awsome.

that was awesome some food for thought for those smokers out there 5 years to recover but after 10 years poor old Mr lung is rooted, next weeks episode looks good too.

Caught tonights episode.
Was awesome stuff.
Pretty cool knowing what everything is and being able to identify it all.
Some of it's just crazy hard to follow on the actual dissection compared to the plastic and diagram versions taught with though.
It's all pink fleshy stuff and blends together on cam till he pulls it out

Shall be watching next week.

Yeah, it's a lot different learning anatomy from a text book or plastinated specimen compared to a cadaver, that's for sure. And when you're in the operating theatre and you have your hands in someone's abdomen and the surgeon is saying "what's that you're holding there, student?" you're grateful for the face-mask you're wearing so the doctors can't see the expression of fear on your face :0

I saw Gunther's plastinated exhibition when I was in London 5 years ago. Amazing stuff. He had siliconed human dissections riding dissected horses. Crazy and creepy.

^ Yeah f*** that, I'm glad I aint no surgeon.

Maybe it would be easier if you were actually doing the dissection and could move things around to actually look for something but yeah, f*** that. :P
I'd rather not have to try to piece someone back together.
Scrape it off the pavement, no problemo, identifying it in tiny pieces, no thx.

Leave that to the crazy surgeons thx :P

Whats with the hat? Seriously creepy.

That was kind of cool. Glad I couldn't smell it though.

What an absolutly bitchen series. I thought it would be the digestive tract this week.

How crazy are those plastinated vien systems. All the blood vessels in the body laid out in three dimensions.

Also is it just me or are those warnings about "I hope your not eating now" pointless. I could happly eat my dinner watching that or most other suitably gross things. I have only ever felt queazy once watching that sort of thing, it was a video of a guy who had been shot in the groin and the blood from the artery was spraying rythmically across the room.

^ fully.

yep. bigtime cool series. watching the doco on plastination that sbs has played a few times is interesting enough, but these 2 shows so far have been simply incredible.

And yea, that body shaped display of purely blood vessles and veins is just unbelievable! Hear how he was saying that he did that by transfusing a polymer through the circulatory system, then dissolving all the flesh with enzymes n s***. Just truly amazing.

isnt it also weird how he plays around with the organs flipping them around and stuff?

he had to do that to cut them out.

yeah i know that but it seemed like he was playing with them like toys, just seemed a bit off thats all

i cant imagine how much that probably stunk. i remember dissecting toads and pig hearts at school and omg it was the worst smell.

They really don't smell that bad...

They brought that plastination exhibition to australia but the nutjobs got a heap of items pulled, so the version shown in australia was cut down, and according to me Mrs was completely s*** compared to the London exhibit since they left out a lot of the good stuff.

i cant imagine how much that probably stunk. i remember dissecting toads and pig hearts at school and omg it was the worst smell.

Yeah, that's cos they just get pigs' hearts from the local butcher.

With human cadavers they embalm the bodies first using formaldehyde so that u don't have that problem (well, unless u accidentally dissect into the intestines...).

but wouldnt there still be some sort of stench from the organs?

next ep on now. 1 left after this. i'm excited!

the doctor guy reminds me of that guy who never speaks in gone in 60 seconds

... formaldehyde so that u don't have that problem

Gota love that used formaldehyde smell! MMMM mmm, finger licken good..

:D

i went to an abbatoir once during my law studies (long story) and discovered that the disection of fresh bodies is surprisingly clean smelling.

with the cadavers i can understand why the use the preservatives though.

reproduction next week

Next episdoe is about the human reproductive system and they're going to have two peoeple demonstrate how to have sexual intercourse on stage.

Also appropriately titled: sexuality for beginners.

very clever

Apparently scraping the old poo out of the deceased's lower gastrointestinal tract is still pretty stinky despite the formaldehyde fixing. And stomach contents are never good.

So my wife tells me anyway :/
