Dilatant and auxetic and ferromagnetic fluids! Oh my! Check out this list of videos and pictures of fluids with weird properties.

Angela and I went to see Body Worlds 3 at Science World last night. It was interesting. Seeing all the example organs with various diseases deteriorating them did little to help my budding hypochondria. The bodies themselves were interesting too, but I was rarely able to suspend my disbelief in a few ways. A lot of the men couldn't have been taller than 5'2, and many sported athletic poses that I doubted they could have managed in life. I'd spend much of my time wondering who they were when they were alive, how old they were, or whether the two bodies posed together as "lovers" even knew eachother.

All interesting, but I know I wouldn't make a good forensic pathologist.
