#ThinkingCC
It is safe to assume that I, along with my group, were thinking during the dissection. There were periods where an outside observer might beg to differ, and one of those temporary but somewhat contagious lapses of judgement came when we were trying to find the esophagus in the midsection of the pig. Our initial guess was the long tube that was fused by cartilage to the dorsal wall of the abdominal cavity, running a line down the middle. There was great debate as to what this tube was – some called it a blood vessel and some called it the esophagus. It did not bleed blue or red latex when lacerated and it was not connected to the stomach (a fact apparently lost among the collective consciousness that had formed sometime between the events of the initial incision and this particular moment in time). It wasn’t even the same color.
That being said, we were sapient throughout the remainder of the lab.
