The Tale Of Kaol And The Meat-Boxing
Back in the days of GCSE Biology I had a bit of a strange teacher.
He'd often just turn up to a lesson, give us some lump of animal and say "Get on with it".
He was also bald, and had large, bulging eyes, so we called him Sméagol. Children can be so cruel...

Anyway, back to the story.
One afternoon we turned up to class to find Sméagol standing on his head in the corner of the room, eating an orange.
After a brief explanation that "You can swallow upside-down, because it's peristalsis, not gravity that moves the food", he got himself back upright and pointed to a black bin-bag on the desk.
"There're cow hearts in there. Enough for one each. Get on with it, the dissection equipment is at the back of the lab."

With that he vanished from the room, and we knew he'd be gone for the rest of the lesson.

Fifteen teenagers in lab coats are standing in a rough circle, laughing and cheering.
Two fairly tall young men, also in lab coats are swinging wildly at each other.
Their lab coats are blood-stained, and they seem to be wearing boxing gloves made from shiny dark red leather.

My lab partner Mike and I had got bored of the simple dissection.
With a bit of slicing, and a couple of failed attempts, I'd created two pairs of "Meat Boxing Gloves".
The major artery holes in a cow-heart are a pretty good fit for human fingers, it turns out...

*clicks*
I found this strangely happiness inducing.

I need a non-b3ta life.
