The Siriraj Medical Museum in Bangkok is fairly well-known amongst world-travelers seeking out the unusual. A unique complex of six different medically themed museums, the Siriraj requires a fairly strong stomach and few hours of your time. Dylan and I visited the complex about a year ago, one of the last stops on a five week trip through South East Asia.
After spending a good hour and a half hopelessly lost in the rabbit-warren of hospital buildings that the museums are nestled in, we finally found the Siriraj. After touring museums of parasites, pathology, thai medicine, and feeling a bit nauseous over the extensive collection of photographs of murder victims in the forensics museum, we were ready to seek out the most historic museum, the Congdon Anatomical Museum.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
