The British Museum as there was tons to look at. One of the more interesting little exhibits was one showing how many drugs the average person takes in their life time. There was a huge long glass table, and inside the table were thousands and thousands of pills. Underneath the pills were captions and photographs of the life of a person. It began with pictures at birth with some pills that a baby may take and ended with a picture of the man's funeral. All along the way it showed the different pills that the person took. Sometimes it was due to Asthma, broken bones, whatever. ABout 70% of the pills though were taken after the age of bout 65. It was really fasincating to see the sheer number of pills put in the average person's body. They did it for both males and females. Interesting stuff. Posted by Hello
