somehow, I think you might be able to give a bit more detailed analysis of Tyson's approach.

Do you know a good recipe?

PZ, don't miss this opportunity. If you handle this right, you can one up the Body Works displays. Display the brain so its natural squishy wetness (or some facsimile thereof) is preserved.
