The future is now!!

"Transplant surgeons look the future in the face

Jo Revill, health editor

Surgeons are preparing to carry out the first full-face transplants for patients who are seriously disfigured.
A team of clinicians is being assembled by experts at the Royal Free Hospital in north London, who claim that new microsurgical techniques have made it technically possible to graft a new face on to another person.

The prospect of facial transplantation, in which a patient would undergo at least 10 hours of surgery to receive new skin, bone, lips, chin, ears and nose from a donor, may seem more akin to a science fiction plot. In the film Face/Off, John Travolta, playing a special agent, and Nicolas Cage, a master criminal swap faces using laser technology. The plot revolves around their new identities. "

Yeah, and the Japanese people would probably find it amusing.

So what?

It's like those Japanese restaurants... Happy Golden Lucky Time Restaurant. Nothing wrong with finding humour in it. Doesn't mean anything.....

I was thinking about changing it to this quote, "are the american living in moon is a moonman ??? ".

Because it just makes that much less sense.
