IMHO,
I think that's a great idea, a litlle gross maybe, but a good idea. Frog dissection is
a totally wrong thing to do, and it
is _not_ a necessity for educational teaching. I will stand by that opinion till I'm
proven wrong.
BTW, I haven't checked out the virtual thing yet, I'm about go to that URL. It's
probably for windows or PC's, but I'm on a
mac so I'll just see..
