I agree, particularly if you are trying to attract the middle school male crowd!  While not an exhibit, Ontario Science Centre used to have some wonderfully gross body experiments on their website, including an exploding zit, a "concentration/match game" where you had to match body noises (the icons were toilet seats that flipped up when the noises were made - it REALLY appealed to young teens).

>I can't stress strongly enough the value of a grossological approach to the human bod. "How high? How fast? How strong?" and "Where do I come from?"-type approaches just don't cut the mustard, in my opinion. Talk to all the Bart Simspons you see and whatever makes them snigger, put it in your show: high speed zit popping, sperm steering, endocrine pinball, body noise identification and endoscopic video.
