We often ship in a 10 pound bag or two of mixed bones from Bucky's Boneyard, 
usually includes a skull or two.......

Now Von Hagens work The Body Worlds, is hardly an anatomically study, rather 
an impressionistic intepretion defined by the vaguries of the method...For 
educational purposes? You'd end up with a perverse sense of anatomy if you 
took those cadavers literally.... you were probable laughing so much  you 
didnt notice this when you were at the exhibition....I did.....Havent seen 
the autopsy film but apparently it was done as a performance rather than a 
scientific process.
Zhy Yu is a canibal artist...ohhh DUH! He eats human flesh...the baby was 
only one of the more controversial acts.....others in this genre include Sun 
Yu An, Peng Yu, Cai Yuan, JJxi (who made penis wine to serve to critics) I 
guess Jane Goodall who ate a less than recently deceased cat on the steps of 
the NSW Art Gallery could be included...even if only because I was in the 
audience.
John Duncan sexually obsessed? again DUH! The point of the performance, 
which concluded with a public vasectomy is his concern, as a victim of child 
sexual abuse, that he may be an offender. If you dont understand the 
semiotics involved in the performance you may do better sticking to kiddy 
shows........
Apparently a number of so called "christian" churches perform a ritual where 
they recreate the last supper and use the symbolism of the bread and wine as 
a mettaphor or transignification for Christs Body and blood being shed for 
redemption....what is refered to as a calvanist theological view...Now you 
were so busy sniggering  in your ignorance to notice that I referred to the 
ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH (and I include many of the orthodox churches that also 
adhere to the synoptic gospels) that have a PROFESSED belief that through 
the eucharistic liturgy the bread and the wine DO TURN (through a process 
termed "transubstantiation") into the ACTUAL body and the blood of 
Christ....They DO NOT believe that this is a mettaphor but a God Given 
Blessed Sacrement. This was reaffirmed by the vatican in 1965 and remains 
part of the Catechism to this day...ipso facto a Roman Catholic believes 
that they are participating in a cannibalistic ritual.......
So next time, before you go rolling on the floor in some fit of epileptic 
seizure, try to get the facts right...what was the saying? I wise man closes 
his mouth and keeps people guessing....a fool opens their mouth and proves 
it?
