Well, it's that time of year -- when we celebrate the very best of 2008!

The news has been buzzing with details about this week's amazing face transplant, but a quick review of the year shows that the face transplant was not, in fact, the best transplant of 2008.

Here's my list of the Top Ten Transplants of 2008:

1. Foot Transplant

2. Five-Finger-Discount Finger Transplant (this is when you shoplift someone's fingers and graft them onto your hand)

3. Knee Transplant

4. Face Transplant

5. Full-Body Monkey-to-Human Transplant

6. Shoe-to-Face Transplant (attempted; failed)

7. Eye Transplant

8. Trans Am/Plant Transplant (this is when you steal your older brother's Trans Am and replace it with a plant)

9. Tummy Transplant

10. Transplant Transplant (a.k.a. "Hand-me-down Transplant")
