A traveling science exhibit is exploring the taboo and the stomach-churning to the cringing delight of both kids and adults. "Grossology: The (Impolite) Science of the Human Body," is now visiting Chicago, Singapore and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Sylvia Branzei, the science teacher -- and self-proclaimed "all-around grossologist" -- who wrote a book that spawned the show, says the secret of its success is, "Throwing up, pooping and peeing -- the combination of the three are what make it a hit." Featured exhibits include a cave-like nose that sneezes on those who dare enter and a slide shaped like a giant gastrointestinal tract that ejects kids onto a "poo poo" mat. Most-common overheard remark? "Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!"
