"They laid there like a dead person."

Hmmm, pretty awful summation of a nights frolicking, don't you think?

Well, I have a story that takes that comment to new heights. For you see the frolickers in this case are, actually, well, dead.

Gunther Van Hagens and his wife Angelina Walley are anatomists who have developed a technique that allows for corpses to be preserved. The cadavers are stripped of skin, revealing the muscles and organs underneath, and then they are posed. It is the scientists contention that when visitors are exposed to the body and how the body works, they might be inclined to make more informed decisions about how to take care of themselves.

A stretch. No pun intended.

But it appears that Dr. Van Hagens and Walley may have pushed the proverbial envelop as their latest exhibit intends to include cadavers posed in the act of lovemaking.

Oh my.

As I said, laid there like a dead person.
