Biology Blog #10: It's BACON TIME!

Seriously. Butchering a pig. It's one of the things that I've been looking forward to since the beginning of semester. Honestly. And you know how you felt like when you saw the last Harry Potter film? Yeah, the moment that pig brain was dug out, my entire ambition and drive for biology just went away. Leaving me empty inside.

Anyways...
In my group of far-more-considerably-talented-but-not-as-handsome-people (that means you, Angela, Jannel and Tiange), we were given a decently sized fetal pig, after ignoring the label of a heavy bucket (Mr. Chung, if you're reading this, I hope you know that I'm still mad when you said, "Oh wait, these are rats, wrong bucket,") and haggling (Yes, we haggled for the size of the pig, cause you know... I want BACON!).

And then, came the opening of the pig.

then we just went and found all the organs we could. like a scavenger hunt. mmhmm ;)

something interesting about our piggy though, we held a bet the day before we dissected, and we were betting on gender. 2 on female, 1 on male, and 1 on hermaphrodite. somehow... our pig had one ovary and two testes. people disagree about the ovary, but what else can it be?

and here's something you shouldn't try at home. i get away with it cause i'm crazy. and i'm James Lau. and in case you're wondering, that's pig brains.

and before you start criticizing me, i'd like to show you a picture of Angela and pig testes.




















good dissection :D
