Pregnancy Test

Sentynel: Okay, wow. The standard pregnancy test in the ~1950s was the following: 1) Take urine sample. 2) Inject said sample into a toad. 3) Observe toad for 24 hours. 4) If toad lays eggs, test is positive.
Sentynel: (Female toad, obviously.)
Ticia: lol
Goosey: lol
* Nyperold blinks.
Ticia: I wonder how long it took them to figure out that didn't work.
Sentynel: Oh, it worked.
Sentynel: It was phased out when we developed direct chemical tests for the antigens involved.
Ticia: ... seriously?
Sentynel: Yup.
Ticia: lol, okay then.
Sentynel: It was an improvement on previous tests, which used mice or rabbits, as the animal had to be killed and dissected so the ovaries could be examined.
Sentynel: The toad survived and could be used repeatedly.
Ticia: Poor toad.
LaZorra: ...
LaZorra: My brain wants to make some really bizarre parallel to kissing toads.
Goosey: LOL
Sentynel: LaZ: If you kiss a toad and it turns into a prince, you're pregnant? I think that's the wrong way around.
