Coolgov links to a very weird and sometimes outright creepy site called "Dream Anatomy," which describes its raison d'etre thusly:
"The interior of our bodies is hidden to us. What happens beneath the skin is mysterious, fearful, amazing. In antiquity, the body's internal structure was the subject of speculation, fantasy, and some study, but there were few efforts to represent it in pictures. The invention of the printing press in the 15th century-and the cascade of print technologies that followed-helped to inspire a new spectacular science of anatomy, and new spectacular visions of the body. Anatomical imagery proliferated, detailed and informative but also whimsical, surreal, beautiful, and grotesque รข€” a dream anatomy that reveals as much about the outer world as it does the inner self."
Here's a link to the image gallery. Probably best not to view this before bedtime.
