Today in my 3hour Biology lab we dissected a frog. Despite its horrid appearance, the overbearing smell of formaldehyde, and slimy flesh, I successfully completed the dissection with my lab partner and labeled all of HIS parts (we found testis, so it was a male). This dissection was no small feat as it brought back a lot of memories.
About a year ago, I owned a Pacman Frog who I named Juggernaut. He gladly ate large mice, goldfish, lizards, and anything I dropped in his tank (which was pretty awesome), so one day, I decided to feed him squid. Basically, the taste of squid pretty much did him in; shortly thereafter he died. I was sad not because I the frog disliked the food I placed before him, but because I was experiencing "the pain of stupid"- the pain one feels due to their own stupid decisions.
Anywho, in our lab, one of the other groups decided to COMLPETELY disregard proper dissection technique and hack away at the formaldehyde-ridden creature. My group, on the other hand, exhibited exemplary technique and execution. You can decide which frog was mine after viewing the pics.
Enjoy
(as best as possible)
