The rabbit test was an early pregnancy test developed in 1927 by Bernhard Zondek and Selmar Aschheim. The original test actually used mice.[1] The test consisted of injecting the tested woman's urine into a female rabbit, then examining the rabbit's ovaries a few days later, which would change in response to a hormone only secreted by pregnant women. The hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), is produced during pregnancy and indicates the presence of a fertilized egg; it can be found in a pregnant woman's urine and blood. The rabbit test became a widely used bioassay (animal-based test) to test for pregnancy. The term "rabbit test" was first recorded in 1949 but became a common phrase in the English language. Xenopus frogs were also used in a similar "frog test".
Modern pregnancy tests still operate on the basis of testing for the presence of the hormone hCG. Due to medical advances, use of a live animal is no longer required.
It is a common misconception that the injected rabbit would die only if the woman was pregnant. This led to the phrase "the rabbit died" being used as a euphemism for a positive pregnancy test. In fact, all rabbits used for the test died, because they had to be surgically opened in order to examine the ovaries. While it was possible to do this without killing the rabbit, it was generally deemed not worth the trouble and expense.

Oh! Thanks for the explanation. I've never heard that before! I'm gonna start using it as much as I possibly can

Re: Selkies

HAHAHA!! Actually, I wouldn't mind if you wanted to make the design in a few different colors for me.

Re: I Sea A Tree

Those colours are beautiful together. I quite like it. Yep.

Any comments on my derby entries this week? I am hoping for a more respectable showing than my first derby last week.

Re: In the Ocean, We Fence Like THIS

Those colours are really nice. Great work as always, MJ.

Re: Pirate Squid

hah!

Re: Eel Charging Station

Fantastic original design. Excellent idea, loop.

The only other thing I have to add is that I love your use of negative space in your designs. Quite a few of your tees from both here and TF are my favourites as they are stunning illos, yet feel like practically no ink on the tees. Love it.

Re: The Awakening

Hoping to see this hit the fog soon...

Re: Deep Down, From the Bottom of My Heart

This looks great! GMV!

Re: Jellyfish

Nice. I wonder how long I could wear this shirt one day and have no one understand it.

Re: An Island Unto Herself Redux

Re: Deep Sky Fishing

Ha, SEAgull...I get it.

Re: The Open Sea

I was not predicting you to be the designer for this shirt (no, that's not a bad thing). I really like the feel of this shirt. I'm just in awe

Re: sea world

I wish i understood the upload quality thingy. Anyways wanted to get this submitted. Some random thoughts...if there was text i would have had McKrill, note its a real map reversed so he really is Surfing USA, nothing better than hot tubbing in Greenland! Not sure if they'll reject just on name. We'll see.

Re: An Island Unto Herself Redux

please win

The best in the derby

I'm so sad that I couldn't do this digitally. I also love this design and was pleased with how it came out. Luckily I've ordered a digital tablet and future designs should be a lot better!

Once again thanks a ton for the feedback...it's a huge boost to the self-esteem.

=)

I will compliment you on your wordage (yeah, I made that up). You can write me a book any day.

Now cut the koi, move on with life. Thanks.

I sincerely apologize for the confusion. Allow me to simplify.

Re: A Fish Called Juan, Duh.

I wanted to write something clever, but forgot it all.

Here is Juan, a happy fish of an unknown variety that just wants you to know that no matter how tough life gets, how bad the economy is, and no matter how often it feels like the world is gonna end- he is STILL happier than you!

Re: SEA OF LOVE

the actual ship is the H.M.S. Beagle, which is a breed of dog.

"Deagle" is a common portmanteau of 'Desert Eagle', an outrageously large (.50 cal) handgun. The desert eagle is a beast of a weapon, the sort of gun you give to Hollywood types to make things look more B.A. and put in videogames because most people who fire it in real life will sprain their wrists.
