LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) – A 40-foot-long replica of the human colon is winding its way through Little Rock to educate people on the dangers of colon cancer. The “Colossal Colon” is designed for children and adults to crawl through, and allows visitors to see different stages of the disease, from polyps to full-blown cancer.

That’s only 130 miles from here. Should I go see it?
Please. We need a full report. (Ya know, I’m not gonna be selfish here – someone else can make the jokes.)
Reminds me of that old joke…
A family of three climbing up a hill one night, stargazing…mom in front, dad behind mom, and junior lagging behind…
Junior: Dad, I can see Uranus!
Dad: I can see Mars! (Ma’s)
I just wanna know if you get a little certificate after going through that says “you’ve passed”.
Has to be a fake story since it doesn’t pass the smell test.
That exhibit was just in DC and my wife took my sons to see it. My 4 yr old is VERY interested in the digestive system and can rattle off its parts and functions from end to end. Good time if you like that sort of thing.
Can’t wait for the first Brownie Troop to come through together.
From the KARK-TV website, with the headline: A Colossal Colon in the River Market?!?!
Damn, I missed it?! That woulda been a hoot.
I work about seven blocks from the River Market. If I can get away from lunch I’ll try to give a scouting report. Meanwhile here is another link.
get away from lunch… sheesh
So really, this is serious???
:: runs off to check for west coast dates ::
Los Angeles.
June 21st.
I feel the need to head north…
Dude, check out the pictures of it (Opengrave’s link is the same link I looked at) it’s weird!!!
Technically, Arkansas is not the home. The home would be the Cancer Research and Prevention Foundation in Alexandria, VA.
It’s just passing through.
I knew Arkansas was the home of the World’s Biggest Asshole.
His name’s Randy.
It’s good to see that President Clinton still likes to go home occasionally.
And you can rent it!
for the next time you want to try that raccoon and anchovie pizza, and don’t want to use your own colon…
It’s at the John McGovern Museum in Houston?
You’ve gotta be shitting me.
(Make up and insert your own goatse joke here. I don’t have the heart or the stomach to do it.)
