The first incision.  Bwahahaha.

Look!  (No pun intended.)  It’s a cornea!

And the lens. 

I did take a lot more pictures, but those’re all I’m bothering to put up right now.  I enjoyed the dissection.  It went pretty well, Ib thought it was disgusting, and I forced AJ to take pictures.  Aren’t I a sweet and loving older sister? 

When I mentioned it to Samwise, he turned green (sorry, hermano… I couldn’t resist… not after you mentioned skinning a cat…) and I pointed out that this is why he loves chemistry.

And, by the way, I think this book which I am reading is stupid.  ^_^

We dissected sheep eyeballs a long time ago in school. I’m thinking….. around 10 years ago. Give or take a year or two.

Hmm, that looks interesting! I’ve dissected a chipmunk before, and a frog. Not any eyeballs though.

RYC: Good point about the vitamin C. Even though I just got over the cold, it is still a good idea to take it.

Thanks for commenting! ;)
