IS OUR BIOLOGY STUDENTS LEARNING?
"What was I eating?" the boy recalled asking.
Testicles, the students replied.

Is there anything a man won't do on a dare? Especially when money is involved.

Fixing a pair Rocky Mountain Oysters is different than a pair of rocky mountain oysters in fixative....apparantly

Nicely done, Pannus!

Science munches on!

When these come out it can't be pretty. What does formaldehyde do to digestive syatem? Will they come out whole so he can at least return them to the school?

Sounds like someone is getting ready to join a college frat.

... said the 15-year-old, who is not being identified because of his age.
Yeah. I'll bet he's enjoying complete anonymity around his school and neighborhood.

Nursecindy, that answer to that is, "No. There is not."

His mom "couldn't be reached for comment"... I'm guessing for the rest of her life...

Eat two test tickles and call me in the morning.
Posted by: ron | June 02, 2009 at 06:20 PM
M'ville, as a guy of the male persuasion, I have to say you're wrong... We of the masculine dimension, even if money is involved, will not attend this...
Posted by: frodolives | June 02, 2009 at 06:52 PM
Oh, no you don't frodolives! Fool me 27 times, shame on whoever.
"It was just like swallowing a pill," said the 15-year-old, who is not being identified because of his age. "It wasn't that bad."
School officials, who declined to comment, apparently took a different view, especially because the pigs are soaked in formaldehyde, a toxic chemical used to preserve the tissue.
Formaldehyde Test!cles WBAGNFARB.

TRUST ME, JEFF!!! The kid even said, "It wasn't that bad." *SNORKS* Personally, I think "The Formaldehyde Testicles" WBAbetterNFAgrungeB....

Ahh...I loved Biology class. We dissected all sorts of critters, including a cat who was pregnant at the time of death. No eating testicle dares though. Just switching our teacher's blood slide to one that showed some really really bad cells.
Oh yeah...and hiding the slimy earthworms in the most interesting places ;-P
Good times.
Posted by: Siouxie | June 02, 2009 at 07:55 PM
Ummm, OK, Siouxie, no preguntes, me es bueno... (Did I get even PART of it right?)

It depends, frodo. What were you trying to say?? ;-P
Posted by: Siouxie | June 02, 2009 at 09:25 PM
If you eat enough preservatives, do you live longer?
Posted by: Ralph | June 02, 2009 at 09:44 PM
If Siouxie had a nickel for every time she got the same response when she asked that...

He said he collected $40 but owes his mom $100 for the hospital visit.
Wow, they've either got much better insurance than I do or the hospitals are way cheaper in Plano!
Posted by: monsoon | June 02, 2009 at 10:30 PM
monsoon - it's probably the deductible. I have the same arrangement with my kids. They do something stupid and end up in the emergency room, they pay the deductible. IANMTU.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | June 02, 2009 at 10:51 PM
Sioux, I was trying to say, "no questions, I'm OK with whatever..."
Posted by: frodolives | June 02, 2009 at 11:03 PM
I think I'd better start reading my kids' Spanish books. I thought frodo was glad he wasn't pregnant.
Posted by: Cat R | June 03, 2009 at 12:00 AM
Cat - "embarazada" means "pregnant" in Spanish. Which is funny when someone says they're "so
embarrassedembarazada."Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | June 03, 2009 at 12:03 AM
Thanks, Annie.
You know, the more I think about that kid eating formaldehyded anything, the queasier I get. So I shall stop thinking about it.
Posted by: Cat R | June 03, 2009 at 12:15 AM
Wait, just being near formaldehyde can make one pass out from nausea. And this guy actually managed to eat a formalin saturated body part. Strong kid.
Posted by: Elon | June 03, 2009 at 12:27 AM
I'm just not that flexible.
Posted by: CJrun | June 03, 2009 at 04:32 AM
Mmmmm. maybe he should have eaten the pig's DUMBASS.
Reminds me of freshman bio lab at 6PM. Loved the class, but the formaldehyde stink on my fingers made dinner very unappetizing.
Posted by: Loudmouth | June 03, 2009 at 07:20 AM
Loudmouth - I think you're on your way to million$ with that idea. Quite the diet entreprenuer - if you could only figure out a way to make that work.
Posted by: Account Deleted | June 03, 2009 at 12:47 PM
My ditzy lab partner cut off the pig nose and left it on her boyfriend's car door handle. She was a real winner.
