I’ve got a moldy cadaver!! Oh yeah, I work in an anatomy lab and a micro lab. Anyway, didn’t want you to think I just have moldy cadavers laying around the house or something. The cadaver wasn’t preserved well and started to become moldy after only a few days after being placed on the “lab floor”. So I had to quickly replace the moldy cadaver with a suitable substitute, before the students started bitching about not having their own cadaver.
Now I’m trying to salvage the moldy cadaver by injecting it with formaldehyde. Getting under the skin with a 7", 14 gauge needle can be kind of cool…until you accidentally pierce the skin and squirt formaldehyde all over the place. Now that I’m finished with alll the injections, next week I’m going to place the cadaver into a plastic bag, throw some more formaldehyde in there, and let him rest for a few months. By next year, he should be ready to go!
I’ll spare you all the description, unless you want one. Just think of some really moldy stuff from the fridge (slime included) and you’re getting warm.
You wouldn’t happen to have an extra one of those, would you? And a really big syringe? I’m making a no-budget short film (or at least collecting props for it – I’ll make the film after I move). I’d prefer unused, but I’ll take what I can get!
“In surgery there was this guy laying there with his abdomen open and his guts all over the place and all I could think was ‘I wonder if they’re having lasagna in the cafeteria today?’”
I was trying to get some formaldehyde, under his skin, on his face. I pushed the needle from his lower jaw up around his nose, and I then I depressed the plunger. The formaldehyde started to expand under his skin and made his half opened eye start to close. It was pretty freaky!
:eek"
