Dissecting is oddly fun

We heard a story that our biology teacher had caused a slight panic in his village by disposing of a bag of 'used' animal parts at the local tip while his wife was away on a course. As it was, nobody noticed what was in the bag until they tried to compact it and, naturally enough, they thought...'bag of mangled guts + absent spouse = ?'.

I've heard stories about science classes in Hong Kong schools.

Honestly, I'm surprised there still is a Hong Kong.

I heard them all a long time ago, but most of them revolved around teachers constructing items and producing concoctions generally just read about in texts around here, and some considerable damage has been done to a number of labs.

I once got to dissect a whole pig, can anyone, beat that?

[up][up][up] Well, I had to share the horse with five other people. But yes, I can beat that tongue

[up][up] You mean a human one? No, although I have seen prosections.

Uh... I've handled human cadavers. They were pretty old, though, and we didn't really do so much dissecting because the next batch needed their turn. (Like I said, we're a little short on Human Resources these days.)

Probably hanging around somewhere.

(And I thought we didn't vivisect humans, not unless it's, uh... What was that word again? "Surgery"?)

Still dissection, just with a very lively corpse tongue

I have actually watched a demo video of an animal dissection in which the muscles continued to twitch despite the animal being very dead. It was creepy.

[up] Semantics, I guess?

[up][up]Oh, dissected some [very] dead sea anemones once that did something like that. We picked through some Aiptasia anemones of various sizes and put a small one that we had bisected under a low power 'scope to get a better view of its tentacles. We added fresh water to the dish to inflate it a little, and suddenly the damn thing started jumping and twitching all over the tray for the next five minutes or so [lol]

Ah, another fun one we did was a calciferous sponge. Chlorine bleach dissolves most of the matter, eventually leaving nothing but a slurry of calcium spicules which look really beautiful under a microscope.

The most daring thing we ever did in Biology classes was watching blood under a microscope...

I dissected a Frog last year for Biology. It wasn't gross, but I did get dead frog...liquid on my mouth, so that was very unpleasant. And then last year a couple of my friends dissected cats. That freaked out a lot of the girls.

There was this one amusing time when I was supposed to dissect a rat in biology class back in junior high. I was paired up with these two squeamish senior girls who decided that, since I was a junior, I would have to do all the work for them, and I was pretty cool with that. But then I was gone the next day for a previously scheduled dentist appointment. Herp a derp.

So I come back the next next day to find that the girls have done most of the dissection already anyway, and there isn't much left for me to participate in. One of the girls decided the rat's balls were gross and tried to cut them off. She managed to squirt rat juice into her mouth in the process.

So yeah, that's my story of hilarious dissection.

You think they'd do something to prevent the juice form getting in/on your mouth during the dissection...
