The only things I've ever dissected were: Worm: From: Cow eye. The last one was just... wrong. Our teacher took a pencil and punctured a big hole in it... and it leaked out jelly. ARRGH it makes me sick..

How do you dissect pigsfeet??? All this talk is really making me not feel good, or maybe it was those jalapenos I'm eating. I have about 9 pounds of pickled jalapeno slices, and sometimes I eat them right out of the jar. Call me weird but I like them and put them on alot of food.
Any cats?

At my school cats were reserved for the Anatomy students. We dissected worms, clams, grasshoppers, starfish, crayfish, yellow perch, and big bullfrogs. The clam, in my open onion, was the grodiest, but the starfish were the most fun--if you got bored, or screwed up, you just opened another arm and it was the exact same as the rest!

Same deal at our school. Cats for the anatomy students. You always knew when it was cat time. All the anatomy students would meow to each other in the halls.

I remember how my school would hold penny wars between the homeroom classes, and the anatomy students always played dirty--they stuck a cat on top of the jug. The other students got soooo mad!

I've come to the conclusion that something in dissecting a cat messes up one's brain. I don't know what it is, but there's something in it that has an effect.

I think it's the formaldehyde they use to preserve the animals combined with the creepiness of having to dissect a fellow mammal. That is, emotional scarring combined with chemical brain damage.

It just makes me glad I hardly dissected anything at all, I would NEVER be able to dissect a cat, or anything equally as saddening, it would just tear a hole in my head. My brain damage would come from too much solder smoke coupled with my non-ventillated room.

My brain damage probably comes from the mercury lamp that backlights a certain screen I spend WAY too much time in front of...

I wonder if zombies would want brain-damaged brains? They probably don't care. It gave me headaches that lasted for hours, I really don't think it actually did anything but it was unpleasant. Not to mention along with the solder smoke came burns from the iron. Far too many.
What screen would that be? Or are you talking about your computer monitor? I have an LCD screen that used to have a small tube backlight, but I replaced them with white smt LEDS to save on power consumption.

Yeah, the iMac screen has a mercury lamp in it, at least according to the warning on the box. That sounds like a good idea (the bulb replacement) but I think doing that kills my warrenty. ^^;

How long does your warranty last? That may be something you'd want to consider if you plan on keeping the computer around after the warranty goes.

Well.. it might (edit: NOT) not be such a great idea unless you got wide degree VERY bright Leds (maybe 100,000 MOD, not sure). Then you'd have to file them down to evenly spread the light without bright spots, and you'd have to wire them all in series, all the grounds connect to eachother, and all the positive legs connected to a 100ohm resistor which goes to a 5v power source. The wireing would take a long time because of the screen size and not to mention finding a way to hold them in place. However this is not much of a problem for a 5" screen.

Wow, Venom. You know a lot about electronics. I can install a few computer parts like drives, cards, memory, but you are like a deity of technology. I bow before your superior skills!
