Guess what I heard
Australian performance artist Stelios Arcadious has implanted ear-shaped cartilage in his arm.
According to boing boing (and all these photos) the ear was grown in a lab using his own cells and an ear-shaped mold. A similar technique was demonstrated back in 1997 when cow cells were used to grow an ear on the back of a mouse.
Ultimately Stelios hopes to implant a wireless microphone in his third ear so we can all have a listen. My question is, how unusual will this be considered 10 years from now?

This is an interesting post and at the same time funny. Why do you have to implant an ear in your arms that do not have any function at all?

I think only those stupid people will opt in to this. I am very much contented on what I have and I don’t have any plans of removing or adding parts of my body.
