Sorta related: Frog Dissection Kit. I think this would make a cool holiday gift for budding bio geeks.
overachieving pre-meds: "What's going to be on the test?" "What do I have to do to get an A?" "What can I do for extra credit?" "Give me more points for this completely wrong answer!" "Come on, what are the questions going to be on the test?" "But I need an A!" "But I worked sooo hard!" "I'll do anything for an A. And I do mean...anything."
