They say that before we turn 18, the one thing we should do is... dissect a kidney. Which was precisely what I did yesterday. Just the repulsive thought of it makes me turn green and sick.
I chose an obese kidney since... it's not everyday you meet an obese kidney :D ohhh right- it's also in line with my future profession as a ballerina-dietician XP. The kidney was so yellow and saturated (cuz it's covered entirely with lemak) my lunch felt like coming up. But since what goes down doesn't come back up, I could only gag in disgust the whole time I removed the fat with its sickening *schhlick* sound as it parted with the purplish kidney. My kidney bean was pretty small- aiyoh, must be a fat baby goat (kid?) who never got along in Goat School. Let's call him Bill, shall we?
Half the fun was removing the fat, I swear. I always thought kidney pictures were just an artists' impression of what a kidney looks like, but it does look like the ones in the picture- I kid(ney) you not. AHhaha!
If that wasn't bad enough, the kidney smelled. Bad. If roses were heaven then the smell of kidney is hell. Right then I wished my nostrils were wilted and that my sense of smell was the equivalent of the sense of sight of a blind man. After fatting around we cut up the kidney. It really looks like a mushroom- the Shittake variety. It was beautiful. haha. It's pelvis was surrounded by the enchanting medulla, which in turn was surrounded by the majestic cortex. Oh what a sight to behold! Definitely one of the things you should see before you turn 18. (waittt a minute.....)
I guess the best things in life can be found with the help of a dissecting tray, rubber gloves, and simple cutting-whatchamacallit tools :)
