Performance artists are known for pushing the bounderies, but one Australian has astonished his contemporaries by having a third ear implanted onto his arm.

The Cypriot-born eccentric Stelios Arcadious spent 10 years searching for a surgeon willing to perform the controversial operation.

My first thought when I saw this on the television news last night on CNN--hire this guy as the new Verizon Spokesman NOW! I can see it now: the current Verizon geek walks up to this freek and says "Can You Hear Me Now?". Mr. Arcadious puts his arm around the Verizon dude and says "Now I can!"

There's got to be a fetish out there for this type of thing.

Now if he can just find a surgeon willing to remove his head from up his ass.

I suppose we should be glad it wasn't implanted in his foreskin by mistake.

All he needs now is to have a mouth implanted in the implanted ear and his forearm will look like the cover of a Manfred Mann album.

There's got to be one hell of a hilarious joke in here somewhere but I haven't found it yet.

I think the science behind this is marvelous and is great for medical applications. As art? I can take a bowl of my own excrement and make shampoo out of it. Then I can use it for weeks until maggots begin to live in my hair. That is about as savory as looking at this piece of "art."

Except now it will be "Talk to the forearm!"

from Wikipedia:

"Talk to the hand" (or "tell it to the hand") is an English language slang phrase associated with the 1990s. It is a contemptuous and urbanized way of saying that no one is listening.

It is often elongated to a phrase such as "Talk to the hand, because the ear's not listening" or "Talk to the hand, (be)cause the face don't understand".

"Talk to the hand" is often considered to be a sarcastic, or obnoxious phrase, and is commonly associated with urban black youths, especially black women, as well as teenage valley girls who adopted it.

The phrase was popularized by actor and comedian Martin Lawrence in his 1992 sitcom Martin.

Hmm I wonder if this is something for snopes beacuse it hasn't mentioned anything about rejection or whether the 3rd ear can hear anything.
