In Georgia, I heard what I originally thought was an urban legend, but was more and more convinced to be true. The story is that at UGA and other animal husbandry institutions had living cows which had plastic windows sewn onto their sides so Vets-to-be can see inside them. I've even heard there were those invertable gloves attached so that the students could push aside various organs to see the one they wanted to explore.
Is this true? If so, prove it.
He did? Did he have one of these in his vet school? Thanks for the link, but Vegetariens Unite might be a little biased.
Do a Google search on "fistulated cow" and it will bring up a few thousand links. ("fistulated" is the techie term for "having a port hole put into your stomach"
)
Fishin, who wrote your sign line? Thanks for the keywords.

It's actually from a WWW site called despair.com
You know al those silly "motivational"posters that companies put in offices to spur their employees on? despair.com makes what they call "demotivational" posters.
Demotivational - that's great!
Google....Alexis St. Martin.
And there is another man that I've read about...his head was stuck in the fork of a tree, but I don't remember his name. Not that his case fits in with the cows and Alexis...but still a neat study to read about.
Fistula
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In medicine, a fistula (pl. fistulas or fistulae) is an abnormal connection or passageway between organs or vessels that normally do not connect.
my friend jina had her hand up to her elbow in one of these cows. we've had a long ugly argument about it. loooooong. ugly.
Jina's a journalsist! How did she end up in this circumstance? Why not me?
Skin is an organ, re the fistula med definition...

Is he a relative of Gus'?
she was a kid. grew up in west virginia. school brought them there.
why would you want to end up in such a circumstance? life is short, but there are things i don't have to try. this and fried tarantulas would be among them.
Osso, yeah, I got it. Very cool.
Dasha, I can skip the fried tarantulas, but I might not be able to skip sticking my arm inside another creature.
but but but...what a heineous idea. what if it was my stomach?
I thought there would be another long and drawn out argument.
HM#4 still doesn't believe in this. He thinks these photos may be staged. Paranoid bugger.
