I can't stop watching The X-Files. I'm at work, I pop at least four an episode in. As soon as I get home, I put one on. I fall asleep watching them and wake up humming the theme song.

Alas, for the series is not unending and I've almost reached the end of season three. One more season, and I'm done. (But Nire! you say. The X-Files had nine seasons! And to that I say ha, the fool is on you. The other five seasons sucked raging monkey cock and I will not suffer through that!)

(Okay, that last bit was a lie. I'm downloading the other five right now in a fit of weakness. BUT I STILL MIGHT NOT WATCH DAMN YOU YOU DON'T CONTROL ME)

So, speaking of transplants (I know I wasn't, bear with me), I've got two delicious news articles for you.

The first one is from February, which means I've totally told you about it before, but that's okay. Let's read about the first face transplant.

You read me right. She transplanted her face. Or, well, some dead girl transplanted her face and that lady got her face sewed on and oh man it's just like Face/Off!

In more freaky news, now you can read about the first penis transplant.

I really can't say any more about that. I mean... penis! Transplanted! My gods, is this about to lead the way to penis jobs, much like nose jobs? If so, will 13" cocks of fangirls' nightmares dreams become common?

I need a nap.

I thought the most interesting thing about that penis transplant was the reason that it ultimately had to be reversed: because the husband and wife couldn't stop thinking of it as "a dead man's penis".

Yeah! I wonder what it is about the penis that makes that happen? I mean, do transplantees go around thinking "Jeez, I have a DEAD MAN'S HEART"? And is it just because it's such an "intimate" part of the body, or is it the visibility? Like, if someone had a hand transplanted (in the future, in which case they would be a fool because who would give up a bionic hand for just a regular dumb ol' human hand? People are so foolish sometimes), would other people be freaked out? "Oh shit, I'm shaking a DEAD MAN'S HAND! This too weird, I'm outta here!"

[autumnyte.livejournal.com]

Heh. My guess is that it's a combination of the visibility of it, and the fact that it's an appendage. With an appendage, I'd imagine it's easier to dissociate it from one's body. Like, retinas, or a heart, or a kidney are so integrated, but a hand, or god-forbid a penis....

Hell, a good number of guys I know already consider their penis' a separate entity.

You could only get a 13"er if someone was willing to give theirs up. Oooh penis bidding wars!

Naw man, it could be like hair extenders!
