Nice for see journey of life from start line, but like for think me that this is no real ovulate, but extreme old Jacques Cousteau episode call, "Total Disgust Thing Find Me at Bottom of Sea".

It was cool to see the finger-things, but I thought this was a video of ovulation. That, to me, suggests ... an egg.

There are also really good ovulation pictures in an article on New Scientist (much clearer than the video). The link is really ugly, so I won't post it here, but the article was titled "Human egg makes accidental debut on camera" and was posted on June 11. I added the link in signature field, so hopefully that will work.

It is extreme good for know that ovary look like calamari.

I love that the New Scientist commentary states something along the lines of..."it thought to be an explosive event, yet (they) learned that it took about 15 minutes to occur."

Really? Apparently, the author never had mittleschmirz. Now I know why it exists!

EW. EW EW EW. I know I am supposed to be amazed and empowered or something by this, but just EW.

Okay ...

I'm just glad there were labels so I could understand what was what.

But I'm sure this isn't the first time ovulation has been caught on camera. "The Miracle of Life," a film produced for PBS's NOVA program contains a much easier to understand and almost beautiful sequence of ovulation and egg uptake into the oviducts. I think it was mid-80's. Worth a rental or borrow from the local university library if you are interested in the nitty gritty of sperm and egg development and the early stages of development.

Why is the female organ such a gross out factor.

It reminds me of a swaying plant in a coral reef....a very pink and red coral reef.

Bravo.
