In a 6th Form art lesson we once had an experiment to see how much masking tape it took to tape a ginger to a wall
We had locked the door and when the teacher knocked asking why, one of the guys yelled because I'm naked, we're doing life drawings.

12 rolls of tape later the ginger was successfully taped to the wall. He fell down about an hour later though taking most of the wallpaper with him.

No, that's brilliant.
The best thing that happened in our art room was that once, a pigeon flew in. The art teacher tried to beat it to death with a broom, and when that didn't work she locked it in the kiln and turned it on.

Did she eat it after?
I just remembered setting fire to a bag of "art" (mainly dried leaves and paper) when I flick lit a match at my mate and he moved.

We spent lunch getting stoned in the park collecting "better more arty leaves"

The rumour was that she stuffed it under her smock and deposited it on the playing fields
Almost as funny as when one of the school hamsters died, and the little uns buried it and had a funeral. 2 days later they found it, dug up by a fox and partially eaten.

The little uns at my school were 7-11
They were traumatised.

We didn't do much disection. Only hearts, I think.

When I was around 5 or 6 me and my dad were walking
in the lake district and came across a dead/rotten/half eaten sheep. I think my dad enjoyed telling me things eat other things even fluffy sheepys, and things die. And get eaten. And decompose (or decomode as I rather amusingly used to call it)

Oh it's a wonder with a childhood like that I didn't grow up to be a pessimistic bitch

Hahaha
I remember coming across a goose (or some sort of waterfowl) skeleton and being fascinated by the teeth.

My dad encouraged me to be a scientist, so I dissected a heart when I was around 8 or so. Very interesting. And a fish. Its heart was pyramid-shaped.

I remember dissecting a heart for biology GCSE
all the 'girly' girls were shrieking in the corner, so I wandered over and calmly explained that they were being pathetic. When I got told to fuck off I chucked the heart I was dissecting at them. Two of them threw up and one fainted. /snigger

A black girl fainted?

I went to a fee paying grammar, Monty
no blacks there. (genuinely, there weren't - although it was a pretty small school)

We had one black man in Winchester: 'Black Rob'

Not his colour and occupation

It's nothing more than a large lump of uncooked meat.
It's more unsettling when it still has a face, but we never got to that stage at school.

We dissected eyes and kidneys as well
and watched the teacher dissect lungs and a rat.

My father came home from the butcher's with heart, liver and lungs
he discovered something in the windpipe of the lungs and almost threw up and stopped the experiment. I never got to see :(
