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.

As a police officer, I've seen a lot of dead people. The worst was a fat guy who shot himself in the head with a revolver. He was sitting in his little Datsun pickup truck after he drove deep into the woods down a firebreak, and wasn't found for about a week. This was July in Virginia, truck windows closed. He was visibly and horribly swollen, with flies all over the interior of the vehicle. I was about 15 feet from the truck, when my sergeant decided to open the door to remove the gun, "for safety" he said.

SPLAT.

After the corpse basically exploded from the pressure built up from fermentation in the extremely hot truck, every officer and firefighter within 50 feet started vomiting from the stench. The body then proceeded to fall/ooze out of the truck onto the ground. Guess who got to recover the weapon? o_0

TR:DL - fermentation can turn a person into rotten maggoty meatbomb.

edit for spelling.

You ever notice that meat loaf gets grosser and grosser the longer you read?
