73 days until the vernal equinox
Eden is back, with hair that goes from its natural black to green to blue. There's a picture of Eden holding the Angry Swan and it's frigging as big as she is. The swan was toe-touching because the joint could be permanently messed up. He was doing better under painkillers, but we can't feasibly give him painkillers post-release.
Matt's response to the Refrigerator Gang cleaning up the refrigerator and taking anything they want out temporarily was "we'll get tattoos."
Cassie, who has no idea who Tina Belcher is, said "it's a chinchilla rabbit. Part chinchilla, part rabbit. Just kidding, it's just a rabbit." without pausing.
Cassie told me about something called Trump Your Cat.
I participated in my first necropsy. I had to leave before we took the organs apart, not because I couldn't handle it but because Matt and Eden were so hungry they could eat a somewhat singed and desiccated dead rabbit and Rob was in a meeting or something and it was snowing and I had to leave.
Meanwhile, Jacob was pulling feathers out of a hawk.
The legs were in a weird position because when the rabbit was burned, the water evaporated and the legs contracted. There's no evidence of hanging or being tied down (matted fur) but there was the remnant of a box in the fire. The hair was singed atop but not completely burned. It didn't smell dead, that is, like the breakdown of lysine into cadaverine and the breakdown of glutamine into putrescine; it smelled like overcooked meat, which is, really, what that is. Until you cut it open, anyway.
Matt compared it to a roasted marshmallow.
Eden says the great thing about necropsies is that we don't have to worry about putting the animal back together.
Also, some of the bone was visible on the hind legs. Some of the membranes looked iridescent.
"like frogs, rabbits use their eyeballs to push food down the esophagus."
There was a fly and Eden wondered if it came out of the bag with the dead rabbit. It probably snuck in from the laundry room. I wished Katie was still around, because she's always more than happy to sweep and mop the laundry room.
Matt tried to look up rabbit anatomy but the diagram was in Spanish. It could be worse, like when I tried to look up the endocrine system and the best picture was in Arabic.
The heart and lungs were a nice red color and Matt said we would be able to revive him afterwards, but the abdomen was completely drowned in shit. Which means I got to use the phrase "both literal and figurative shit"
Eden said that fermented putrefacted shit and interstitial fluid is a delicacy somewhere.
In rabbits, between the small intestine and large intestine, there's an organ called the caecum (British spelling; the American spelling is cecum), which absorbs bits of digestible fiber where bacteria ferment it and break it down into something more easily digestible. Humans have this thing too but it's really just part of the colon along with the appendix.
There were a few fecal droppings in the colon.
burning question: does wherewhitepeoplemeet have the same strict standards that the American Nazi Party has?
