...running in repeats on Comedy Central. The only added value (the commentary does not count) is that the shows are uncensored, presumably for anyone who can't figure out what curses are being bleeped and which body parts are being pixilated.

Someone who hadn't seen a body dissected might have been able to draw the parallel, but probably not with the razor-sharp language that makes Donne one of the greats. Von Hagens, who performed his autopsy under a copy of Rembrandt's Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicholas Tulp, is clearly conscious of this artistic heritage.
