What I learned in school today

Anatomy--Sheep brain
In today's anatomy lab, I learned that:

1. Sheep have itty bitty brains.

2. That dogs have brains comparable in size to that of a sheep's, regardless of the dog's size. (I'm actually a little dubious about that one.)

3. That cutting into a sheep's brain with a sharp scalpel is rather like cutting into a large, wet mushroom.

4. And the consistency between your fingers is reminiscent of firm-cooked scallops.

That reminds me, it's dinner time. I'm starved.
