Flying Pigs Part 2

          Dave starts dry-heaving as he realizes that he had been chewing on a toothpick that had been stuck in the inside of a pig. We thought for sure that he was going to throw up. Before Dave lost it, Tom spoke up. "I'm just kidding" he said "it wasn't one of the toothpicks being used on the pig". Dave regained his calm and sat down. Myself and everyone else were laughing hysterically.
          Eventually, it came time for us to have our final experiment with the dead pigs. Our teacher wanted to focus on studying what happens to the body when it falls from a great height. She had us all take our pigs and walk down the hall with her. We stopped at the window at the end of the hall. She than said that she wanted us to drop the dead pigs out the window and see what happened.
          We were on the third floor of our school building so it would be quiet a drop. Some of the other teachers saw what we were doing and were a bit disturbed. Myself and a few other lined up with their pig in front of the window. I don't remember if we dropped them one at a time or all at once, but regardless they all had a hard fall. I had never heard a body hit concrete after a long fall until I did this experiment. After we were done, our teacher had us walk outside the school to examine the bodies.
          From what I remember, it wasn't nearly as violent as you might think. I expected the whole body to burst open after hitting the ground, but this isn't what happened. While a few pieces went here and there, the majority of it remained intact. After having a little discussion about what we thought, we got to work and started cleaning up our mess. I must say that certain members of the school were not too happy with what our teacher had us do.
          I would like to restate that THE PIGS WERE ALREADY DEAD. NO ONE and NOTHING got hurt during this class assignment.
