It was very weird. They had all the food and water they could want, so it doesn't seem like a hunger thing and it didn't happen all the time, just every once in a while. ------ "Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it.

That mouse story would be creepier, if my own mice hadn't eaten eachother...
Well, I guess I have a gross out story to help stop your appetite. Dead horses. That's how it starts. My brother's vet class was doing disections of dead horses. Well, horse guts EVERYWHERE. Bunch of slob vets, guts all over the class. I assume you can imagine... Well, anyway, you know, they had these dead horses with half their guts cleaned out sitting around. They took em more parts each class... You know how dissection is (OK, maybe you don't) Anyway, it was warm out, and the horses began to rot. Picture it, horses with little to no insides left, rotting. I'll leave you with that image, as I can't find the pic on the web of a few of the students peaking through a horses rib cage. ~Nyssa: Shapeshifter extraordinaire~ ~~~-------~~~ Cthulhu for president~Why vote for the lesser evil? -------~~----- "Of course I'm paranoid, everyone's trying to kill me!" - Weyoun ~~~------~~~ You are an Illuminator.

oh dear...i love horses and the thought of seeing rotting carcasses of them is unpleasant to say the least. i have seen a horse's skeleton before. this is going to sound somewhat gruesome. when i took riding lessons as a child, i went to a local farm in the area. they had horses of their own in the stables, as well as private horses which they boarded for other owners. my favorite horse was a gentle brown mare named Lady. i even won a ribbon riding her in a local horse show. she was quite old at that time. when she died, the farmer who owned her, skinned her...i guess there is a use for horse skin...and disposed of the rest of the carcass...except for her skeleton. he kept that on the premises. since she died over the summer, and i was on vacation in Germany with my family...i returned to take my lessons in the fall. i expected to ride Lady again. when we pulled up to the farm, my parents were horrified to see the skeleton lying in full view on the property. they decided that i shouldn't go back. a friend of mine who continued taking lessons there discovered it was Lady and told me. |

That was more sad than gross. You get a two minute penalty.
Seriously, though... that's sad... aww. ------ "Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don't learn anything.

Oh... that is sad. poor horse.
Hive, remember they're vet students. They gotta know the insides of lots of things. Farm animals, pets, various other things. So yes, they have enough space to study farm animal anatomy in that room. There's also been deer (they had to test em for TB after the hunters shot em. Mmm... Taking out glands in deer heads.), some sort of shark... a wolf that died in one of the parks... The animals have all died natural causes. But anyway, yes, there's plenty of room for those crazy vet students. I suppose I can take comfort in the fact that they won't be working with cadavars... Ick. ~Nyssa: Shapeshifter extraordinaire~ ~~~-------~~~ Cthulhu for president~Why vote for the lesser evil? -------~~----- "Of course I'm paranoid, everyone's trying to kill me!" - Weyoun ~~~------~~~ You are an Illuminator.

Oh, yes, I completely understand that they have to cut up dead animals before they should be allowed anywhere near live ones - of course they have to learn. (I speak as one who spent her whole pregnancy attached to a teaching hospital. More under-30's are now acquainted with my, er, anatomy than I ever thought I would allow.  )It was just the scale of the thing that made me go wow... *********************** There once was a bard of Hong Kong Who thought limericks were too long. - Gerard Benson. |

My friend Belle and I in Asia once ordered an innoccently named dish called "chicken in seven pieces".
It came in a thick black soy sauce where you couldn't see very much of the chicken, so Belle happily plunged in her fork speared up - the chicken's head. With neck attached. It was all black and molten and dead, kind of like it was dipped in oil. Nightmare on Elmstreet chicken. We only had six of the seven pieces. __ The brickchewing, camera flaunting restroom saint formerly known as Babylon the Bride |

i remember once, when i was about 10? 12? i got uberly sick.
the bathroom near my room didn't work. it was the middle of the afternoon, so i ran to my parents bathroom. before i could get actually inside it, i threw up EVERYWHERE i think it was even on the roof. i literally puke-sprayed the entire bathroom. it was very pink and chunky.

you have to be really careful with Asian food...especially in Asia...the worst dish i have ever tasted was braised sea cucumber...it tasted like what i would imagine a tire to taste like...rubbery and impossible to chew. i should add that this was back in the days when i ate formerly living creatures...but a sea cucumber is a strange life form...it captures its food by turning its stomach inside out and surrounding its prey. |

Lol - yep. I know. I AM Asian in part (and oh dear, I like sea cucumber. It shouldn't be that rubbery. Maybe the restaurant wasn't so good?) __ The brickchewing, camera flaunting restroom saint formerly known as Babylon the Bride |

oops...i didn't realize...i'm going to have to look at that thread with pics of all of you one of these days.
and the Chinese restaraunt in which i ate the sea cucumber was in the US...and had a good reputation...the other dishes were tasty. maybe they just got hold of a bad sea cucumber. |

okay, this is gross: I was a senior in high school, sitting next to me was my best friend. Well we were listening to the teacher when I notice she has started to cough - just a little. She covers her mouth politely. Then she has a big cough and I see this huge (1/3 cup) phlem ball shoot into her hand. I see her look around, not having a tissue, so she very discretely sucks it back into her mouth and swallows it.

That story did exactly what it said on the thread title. I can't even look at it any more.

Yes, understandable. I don't think EVERY student had a horse, they were in groups... Asian food, yes... the wonders of food. My friend was in the Philapenes (I think that's where it was...) on a bussiness trip. SO he was having lunch with the guys he was working with over there. They were natives, so he just let them order. The waitress brought out eggs for each of them. Seeing everyone else break theirs open, my friend did the same... And inside was a little baby chicken. Everyone else began eating their... little baby chickens inside of eggs. My friend didn't want to be rude, so he took a small bite of the egg... Fortunately the waitress gave him a mint after she saw the look on his face when he tasted the... little baby chicken egg... ~Nyssa: Shapeshifter extraordinaire~ ~~~-------~~~ Cthulhu for president~Why vote for the lesser evil? -------~~----- "Of course I'm paranoid, everyone's trying to kill me!" - Weyoun ~~~------~~~ You are an Illuminator.

Eesh, tough call with the rudeness. I've always been fearful of being in that situation because I don't think I could eat something like that! |

There was a programme last night fronted by Vic Reeves, all about whether food can affect libido and fertility. Most of the programme was experiments along the lines of feeding men fruit and veg smoothies for six months to see if their sperm got more mobile and had less chromosome damage, but there was this other experiment they did which was just... well....
Three couples took part, and the experiment was to see if diet affected.... flavour. One man ate nothing but spicy food for three days, one man ate nothing but fish, and one man ate nothing but fruit and veg. Now, the circumstances of the experiment were bad enough - I mean, who wants to go on tv to discuss this? But it was worse, oh dear god, it was worse. Each man 'produced', and a waiter took each sample in a test tube to each woman sitting in a different room to sample it. I could understand things taking their natural course, and everything being ok in the heat of the moment, and so on - but it would have been COLD. And each woman took the test tube, in front of the camera, and... *urp* *claps hands over mouth, runs* *********************** There once was a bard of Hong Kong Who thought limericks were too long. - Gerard Benson. |

Conversations about gastrointestinal problems are considered normal in my family. But sometimes my mother goes entirely too far! Mom and I went out for lunchtime sushi. I was hungover, she was...for want of a better word...chipper. So we're sitting there over food and she says:
Mom: ...and I was constipated for several days. The poop was already so close to the anus, the hole was dilated. I could feel it when I wiped my bottom. It was THIS big! Me: Ewww. Mom! Mom: And so I shoved in a glycerine tablet - you know, it's really good these days. When your aunt was bedridden for half a year after that operation, we had to pump glycerine into her by hand. Me: Mom! Please stop. Mom: But these days they have these suppository tablets. So anyway, I pushed it in but the poop was so close to the hole the tablet fell out again. Me MOM! Mom: It's true! So I had to push in a second one. And I could actually feel where I hit poop with my finger tip. It was THIS big. Me: MOM, STOP IT RIGHT NOW. Mom: Hmm...would you like dessert, darling? I think I'll have a mango pudding. __ The brickchewing, camera flaunting restroom saint formerly known as Babylon the Bride |
