I'm sure there are plenty to chose from, these days. (sic.) In Canada too,
we might have different standards, but I was rather floored by the 175lb
limit. I was that weight at graduation to an ounce, and now that middle age
set in... I guess for the anatomy students, they prefer to get to the heart
of the matter. (Pun unavoidable?)

I imagine one good thing to the popularity, is there are that many more
students to the science. When a nephew-once-removed said he was entering a
criminalistics program back in the day, my first thought was he was
learning how to crack safes.  Once he explained the science, my
next thought was that he didn't have the stick-to-it-ivness it would take.
He didn't.
