The following events took place on 11/2/2016
I shoved salt up a chicken's butt.
THIS WEEK IN HISTORY! *please read in announcer's voice*
TOPIC ONE: The Ancient Egyptian mummification process is a very interesting subject. Whilst most teachers would make a slide show or a handout to teach their students about this process, Dr. Parker took on a more hands-on approach. We had already known that our class was going to mummify a chicken, the previous year's sophomore's told us and so did Dr. Parker at the beginning of the school year, but none of us expected it to be so... awkward.
When I walked into the classroom and saw that Dr. P brought a raw chicken from the grocery store into the class, my heart sunk, but at the same time became very elated. Ever since I knew about this little demonstration, I was so excited about it! Unlike the rest my class.
A fellow classmate, Lydia, and I were the one's who volunteered to do all the dirty work; no one else was willing to touch the chicken. We had to massage perfume, alcohol, and almond milk into the raw chicken's body. But there was a buttload (no pun intended) of salt and baking soda involved. The purpose of the salt and baking powder was to dry out the chicken, so we had to stuff the chicken full of it!
We named out chicken Bobine and we buried her on 12/7/2016. RIP Bobine.
Over and out!
