if anyone of you were wondering how cooked human meat smells like. let me tell you, it smells like
bacon.
i scalded my right thumb and finger during chemistry lab practical today. upon burning of the finger i smelt the scent of bacon. that's how i got to know the scent of cooked human flesh. maybe you should go experiment other body parts huh, and list down all the different body parts and their cooked scent.
here's how it happened: i was happily heating zinc in a crucible on a tripod stand. i could have sworn i turned the bunsen burner off after heating for approximately 5 minutes. when i tried to take the crucible from the tripod stand, guess what..
the bunsen burner was still turned on at full blast.thinking that the crucible has cooled to a suitable manhandling temperature, i decided to take it down with my bare hands as my thongs were nowhere to be found. upon touching the crucible, i sensed something was wrong in that mere 0.3 seconds -
the crucible was freaking hot. i gasped, and immediately recoiled my thumb and finger. at the moment i gave a high pitched shriek.
i turned on the tap immediately, hoping that running the poor scalded thumb and finger under the water would help, as it said in the first aid books. unfortunately, it didn't. the pain was excruciating. and so i went forward to the teacher's desk. there was a first aid box all opened up, implying that someone got scalded, too.
and then i found out who, it was alvin. just as soon as i picked out a tube of "burnogel", someone came over and blurted out,
"oh where's that nice bacon smell coming from?"
i stalled, and then sniffed the now-already-swollen thumb and finger. indeed, just as i expected, they were cooked, fried, barbecued, teppanyaki-ed, whatever.
a group of friends came over, and i complained to them about the condition, putting the gel on my finger at the same time.
i didn't know they were cannibalistic.
one told me to let him smell the finger, the other attempted to eat it. darn it,
cannibals. urgh.
and so for the rest of the day i had this plaster on, and my finger would suddenly hurt very much from time to time. (the thumbs' quite okay now). well then, hope it recovers soon.
for now, my right middle finger is kind of tired, because i usually type with both index fingers, gotta find a substitute for it.
okay then, bye people. if the piece of meat falls off i'll let you taste it =)
