I forgot to post these pics from when I went to the museum of science and industry.

The big thing was the bodyworlds exhibit, however, no pictures were allowed, in fact, the staff wouldn't even let people take calls inside the exhibit.

So I wandered over to the "game on" exhibit. Which was basically the history of video games. I already knew pretty much everything, but it was neat to see the actual original pong prototype. Or the working documents for classics like tomb raider and golden tee.

Plus there was probably 75-100 games to play.

One thing that annoyed me was that, all the main exhibits have their own fee. In addition to the admission to the museum. Personally, I'd rather pay a fee and not worry about what ehxibits I visited.

I also saw an omnimax film about a team that navigated the blue nile river in africa, the last part of the river that had never been navigated from source to sea. It was an amazing film. And it really reinforces my belief that I need to travel to egypt before I die.

Afterward, I went to Second City's romeo & juliet, a musical. It was awesome, very funny and liberal use of the S and F word. I actually ran into a friend during intermission which was unexpected, yet a nice surprise. Second city is great, and I would recommend the show to anyone.

One tidbit I almost forgot. Before the show, music was playing, and blue oyster cult's don't fear the reaper came on, and I saw at least a dozen people (in the 150 seat) doing the "bang the cowbell" motion at the beginning of the song, and small yells of "more cowbell" could be heard. Unfortunately gene did not show up with a prescription of more cowbell.

The show is only playing until sept 4th so if you get a chance do see it!
