Steve: Labeled as THE HUMAN SCREAM.
Zack: Murky red-hued pictures of people screaming aren't really any worse for kids to see than giant skinless heads or guts hanging out of a diagram of a mommy.
Steve: Yeah, those mommy guts diagrams scarred me for life. I also remember at the eye doctor they had one of a face and an eye and somehow you could just tell that whoever did the picture was using a dead body as a reference.

Steve: The human skeleton as seen emerging from a sand storm.Zack: The bone masters do like their Darude.
