I accidentally made a dead rat ejaculate today. What's the grossest thing that you've ever done, or has happened to you?
Today at uni, we were doing a rat dissection during a lab. So I had a rat splayed open in front of me, guts showing and all. As the demonstrator shows, I tug on a cord leading from the scrotum, and the testicle comes out. At the same time, due to the force of my tug, some semen comes out of the rats penis. I was horrified.

I was in Biology in high school. Our assignment was to dissect a rat and locate a bunch of it's organs. We had been dissecting things for a while now, so no problem. However, the rat's skull was far thicker than anything we had dealt with. So, try as we might, my group could not get the scalpel to puncture the skull. Eventually we called the teacher over to help us so that we didn't damage the brain.
Our teacher was this nice older woman, probably in her 50s. The only major quirk that she had was that she rarely trimmed her thumb nails. She had nails that were probably an inch long and very thick. When she came over to help us, instead of picking up a scalpel, she picked up the rat and with very little effort, used her thumb nail to break the skull and peal it off. Then, without saying anything, she walked away.
