        Hello!

        Sorry for the late response, some of the questions have only just come through for me now! I think the website is acting up!

        So to answer your question.. no I can’t unfortunately! I can’t even stand on my head so I would be useless trying to do anything else!

        I am going to pilates so hopefully in time I’ll be able to do a head stand! Sorry for not being cool enough to do it!

        Louise =)

        I don’t think so! I’m not very good at head stands and I haven’t dissected anything for a very long time.

        It would be really funny to watch my try and do though. That I can guarantee!

        Hi 979newg29

        Sorry for the late reply – I’ve been having problems with the website!

        Can i dissect a rat standing on my head? I don’t know – I’ve never tried! but Ive never dissected a rat so my chances aren’t very good – though i can do a mean handstand. I guess the problem would be how to stay in the handstand – I think you’d have to use your mouth to hold the scalpel and that sounds like it might be a bit disgusting! Or if I did a one-handed handstand against the wall for stability – and got someone else to hold the rate – i might stand a chance!
        I think id practice first on dissecting oranges though!

        hope that answers your question 🙂
