No Harry, you are the idiot. I've known people injured in accidents like this too. I've had a friend and a father of a friend lose a limb this way. I thought the title was hilarious, and for that, props to you Ricker.
This is the internet, learn to take a joke. People make jokes all the time about wars, cancer, sicknesses, and everything else. Get over yourself and learn to take a joke.
@ Roadrunner :
Ok, then suggest this hilarity to the people you know who lost limbs in farming accidents - that they had fun doing so.
Logically, then, Ricker's idea makes IEDs in Iraq cool, too, right? Because soldiers lost limbs? I dare you to go to your local VA hospital and suggest this. Let's see if you make it out the door. Oh, but I forgot - you only dwell on the internet, not real life.
You guys are breathtakingly, irresponsibly cruel.
@ HarryD
You have personal emotional issues that are bound up with the topic, might be worth separating them. Personally I think you are trolling. I have a friend who is a near quad, he thinks this stuff is great, now I am not saying he got hit by a car so that 30 years later he could borg up but it's going to way cool when he can.
I have never had any surgery or even had a stay in a hospital. I have no piercing. I would though replace one of my eyes with a enhanced model. I'd also go an improved stomach or lungs, they are terribly inefficient. I've never much wanted to chop my arms off to have them replaced, but I would have an extra set of arms, now that would be useful, or a surgically created pocket that I can stash stuff in, awesome.
People are going to be lining up to chop their arms off when the tech gets there. Some jobs will require it. Okay, I'd get a few finger chopped and replaced with more interesting and useful ones. Even the fingertip pen, how chic
I eagerly await the day when science and technology develop a method of pulling that gigantic stick out of Harry's ass.
In short: Lighten up, Francis.
Nobody cares about your gramps except you. Welcome to Earth, where your shortcomings are someone else's punch-line. Get used to it.
