More like THE Skinned Ranger.	Be sure to click on these three pictures. They are the 800 by 600 pixel free screen savers you can download from the Body Worlds website. If you go to the Chicago exhibit be sure to ask for those Senior rates! Also be sure to rent the the audio devices for touring the exhibit. Well worth the $2 senior rate.
OTHER FUN at the SCIENCE CENTER Ken Solovy's daughter, daredevil JoAnne Riss is riding and balancing a high wire bicycle some 3 stories above the ground (note safety net just in case).		Ken chose to ride the mellower version of the high wire bicycle that uses a giant counterweight for stability (like the keel on a boat). He wants to make it to his 65th birthday on Valentines day 2005 - yes - February 14th!
