The Anatomical Position

"The anatomical position is feet together and hands forward." Then as an afterthought, "And penis erect."
-from our anatomy professor

The Body turns out to be rather emaciated and old. He has no fat worth speaking of, the muscles are really really thin, and there's a lot of bruising. Today we skinned the back and peeled back the trapezius and rhomboid. They come up and it's like flipping through pages in a book! Only he's got such thin pages. Probably on a few millimeters thick. It's definitely a contrast to the super-buff people shown in the textbooks.
