Bad to the bone... These tissue eating bugs are... B-B-B-Bad to the Bone! Today I ventured to the one and only Museum of Osteology in the United States to not only view tons of bones but to see the flesh or tissue eating bugs who clean the bones. I was also given the opportunity to watch the process on how the bones go from an animal to the bones shown in the exhibit. It was by far the grossest and coolest thing I have ever seen. The exhibit itself was very interesting and informational with all the animals bones it had to offer. The founder and owner of the facility had a CT of his skull done and had a replica of his skull built and placed in the exhibit with the other skulls. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention I got to meet the owner an founder of the Osteology Museum! He informed us he hopes that one day his bones will be in an exhibit inside the museum. Interesting! The bugs he breeds will one day turn on him and eat the very tissue from his bones!
That must have been a very interesting day you had. I'm not sure I could get Grandad to actually go to something like that. He has a weak staomach.
