the Frog that had no brains

This incident is one of the silliest moments in my life.
It happened during my first year of college, i was doing my B.sc Plant Biology and Plant Biotech at R.K.M.V college mylapore. We had Zoology as the allied subject during the first year, i hated Zoology as i had to dissect cockroaches, earthworms, and worse frogs...(Yuck). Since, i was a vegetarian, I found it rather hard to come in terms to what i was doing. However i persisted all my hatred and continued with the dissections.

The year passed and the pre-final practicals came. It happened that the final dissection was that of Brain of frog. It was a very tough one as i had to cut the Head of the frog and remove the outer layer of skin. The biggest problem was that the tenderness of the body parts required very soft hands. I was not handling the frog properly and ended up making a mess of the Frogs head.

I saw all my friends trying their level best to accomplish the task, they were slightly better as they atleast managed to find the frog's brain (it was already in pieces).The whole atmosphere was tense except for the hilarious moment when my friend Srivatsan(who was also a vegetarian and hated frogs) got up and said to the lecturer, "Sir , this frog has no brains , i can't find anything in its head". The whole class broke into laughter. The lecturer was however bemused and said, " it seems that not only the frog ,but even you dont' have a brain".

I was watching all the action from a corner. All the amusement had stopped and the class got serious again. The lecturer took a look at the time and said " ten minutes more , all of you either finish the dissection or lose your internal marks". These words really added panic . I was so desperate, so i decided to take a risk , i drew the diagram (although it hardly resembled the frog brain) , i took a part of the frogs intestine, carved it into a lookable shape. Silently, i took my paper and the frogs intestine(so called brain) and placed it on the lecturer's desk. I tried to escape only to find the lecturer staring at my masterpiece(the frogs pseudo brain).

Having a very skeptical look at my work , he said ," my dear students, please tell me where to you find the brain of a frog".
My friends replied," in the head of the frog". Then he looked at me and said" i am very suprised to see the frog's intestien, can you explain to me what is happening?"

I was already tense and i muttered" but sir i could not find the brain of the frog". This angered the lecturer so much that he said " It seems that god has created you with your brain placed in your intestine ".

The whole class burst into laughter and i was totally embarassed , this incident is still used by the lecturer to infuse humour among his students . However i remember this incident as one of the craziest things i have done in my life.
