4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for Teaching Nursing Students at my College, May 31, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Dimensional Man (Paperback)

This is an excellent source of learning all about the human anatomy (inside and out). At my college, they are using it as a teaching tool for Nursing students, most of whom found it to be extremely helpful. What students like is especially the life-size figure, which make it more easily to retain in their memory for years to come. I believe that all teaching institutions should use it as a teaching tool to benefit their students. Also, all hospitals and doctors' offices should own one of these life-size figures. GREAT TEACHING TOOL.

This review is from: Dimensional Man (Paperback)

I've owned Dimension Man for over 10 years now, and it's always a great additional to my wall. It's plenty durable as well, he is still in great condition after all this time. It's fantastic for anatomy reference, and even better at another purpose - creeping out your girlfriend.

There's nothing like having your girlfriend walk around a corner to see a fleshless, lifesized zombie presented to her. The reaction is always a priceless mix of fear, anger, and confusion. And don't forget, when the lights are dim or she's groggy from sleep, she's even more apt to catch a glipse of our friend here with reactions ranging from shrieking in terror at the thought of an armed intruder to gasping a sudden breath then wondering why you have that thing hanging by your bed.

Nothing combines education and creepy quite like dimension man. I strongly encourage you to purchase one today.
