A & P

Remember in Anatomy and Physiology Lab when the TA's told us to treat the human skeletons with respect? Probably because of these cut-ups from med schools way back when. Their sense of humor was as morbid as ours.

The tableaus reminded me of a school project college students submitted at the nursing school my mother taught in the Philippines. The students had to present dioramas of frog skeletons as their final project. The dioramas I saw included frogs dressed as the Beatles in a concert, frogs in a fashion show, and frogs riding a car. Don't know for which class. Biology, maybe? Luckily, we didn't have to do that here. The dissecting part and the dressing up part, I wouldn't have a problem with. But hunting for frogs? Imagine trying to catch them in your backyard?
