I remember a few years back, I dissected a rat. COOL. It was so much fun, I can spend a whole day just dissecting rats 4laugh AT first, my friend was trying to cut it. You have to start at the lower abdomen and make an incision, then start cutting up towards the throat with these metal scissors. My friend made it look so hard because she was opening and closing the scissors on the skin to no avail. So I gave it a try. And just then, it was like a whole new world just opened up to me eek I cut through it like it was paper. Next we had to separate the fur from the skin on the inside or something; kinda like a taxidermist. So i gave that a try and I shaved it off like crazy. By then, I was starting to go a little crazy myself I must admit stare I mean, it was just too much fun. Then we had to cut through ANOTHER layer (How many goddamn layers do they have? O_O) and near the top, we had to cut through its breastbone. Oh so crunchy. It went *crack* and I started laughing. Just couldn't help it xd Then I opened up the body and thought 'Wow. This is a dead rat's body. Just...wow.' Then the teacher came along and told me 'These are the intestines.' like I couldn't figure it out for myself. Then she did something even I frowned upon in the throes of my craziness. She stuck her index finger in the intestines and started stirring her fingers around O_O I was thinking 'WTH? You trying to make rat intestine soup or something?' Then she pointed to the kidneys and called them the lungs. Then she pointed to the heart and called it a liver. This got me thinking; is she even qualified to be a science teacher? Then when it was time to pack up, we were told to scrunch, and yes, I say SCRUNCH the rat up in a newspaper and throw it in this massive bin bag on the table. So I picked up my rat, and SCRUNCHED it up into newspaper article, then I went to the bin bag and told the squeamish people around it I was holding a rat in the newspaper xd As I went to throw away my rat, I saw, just lying there in plain view, a rat -_- Did these people not hear? We were told to SCRUNCH our rat into a newspaper, not leave it lying around for everyone to see. So, disgusted as I was of course, I just chucked my rat in. But I was sure, VERY sure my rat would not fall out of the newspaper. Why? Because I made very sure I SCRUNCHED hard enough biggrin What a fun day eh? Also the pregnant rat... When they were cut out of their sacks, everyone went 'awwwwww' like it was so cute they could eat it up. Suuuure, I think this pink blobless shape with freaky ink dot black eyes which came out of a liquid which came out of a sack which came out of a pregnant rat which was dead was cute. Awfully cute.
