I went a few weeks ago to see BodyWorlds at the Museum of Science and Industry (mosi) in Manchester.

I have only just had chance to get the pics off my phone and am amazed at how well they came out.

   
All one body, look at the shared foot.

This was the highlight for me, what incredible musculature.

This is amazing, enough features remain with just the blood vessels that you could probably recognise him if you knew him in life.

 
Either a real life visible human or a macabre newtons cradle.

It was a great day out.

Went here with a friend, pretty yum. 50% off makes it great value too.

Expect an update soon on why my brute-forceing below was plain dumb rather than simply naive.

As some of you may know I am unusually interested in filesystems. After sending John a link about HAMMER, a new FreeBSD clustered FS and joking about starting a tomFS project, his reply offered some help deciding on features it should have and marketing it.

tomfs can process a huge number of operations in parallel, just not necessarily the operations it should be processing, and it might get bored with some of them and forget about them sometimes.

tomfs stores redundant copies of anything it detects as documentaries or spoken word.

tomfs is very easy to port - a couple of bottles should do.

Cracked me up.

PS: Only perhaps 5 of my friends would get this, but I know at least 3 of them read this so no bother.
