Take-home messages

Here are a few other miscellaneous lessons learned this week on cadaver/bone specimen lab:

1. Horse head soup smells exactly the same as dog and cat head soup.

2. It hurts when you stab yourself with the drill bit.

3. If it takes you an hour to wire together your first dog skull, it will only take 10 minutes for the second one.

4. There is just no good way to put into words the way the slimy-sticky-oily-gummy coating on the lunch trays that are used to hold the cadaver bits feels on your hands.

And finally, my #1 source of entertainment for this week:

Watching the looks on other people's faces as you walk around campus holding a box full of dog bones.

(Yes, I could have crammed them into the box so nobody could see, but where's the fun in that? I love seeing people's eyes bug out of their heads...)
