    Brain is selfish. If I can't have it, nobody should!

  • dronesixtyten, on 01/05/2009, -0/+1A quick look at your recent activities shows an admission to suffering from a shrinking penis. So, a huge black ***** actually would be an improvement.
  • sgvprelude, on 01/05/2009, -0/+1Awesome...I thought I was going to have to quit smoking.

  • Mockylock, on 01/05/2009, -0/+1The fact that they can transplant a lung is amazing enough for me.
  • Cleancut360, on 01/05/2009, -0/+1Call me what you like for this but I have nothing against the daily mail....yet. If I find something I don't like, or want more information I research more articles on the web. I don't bother submiting anything cause someone always seems to be one step ahead of me.
  • jayrokk, on 01/05/2009, -1/+1Buried. Enough with the Daily Mail crap.
  • nuthinlikerubbn, on 01/05/2009, -4/+3can't wait for the day I get a penis transplant from a hung black guy who was just shot
  • rufishinjr, on 01/05/2009, -3/+2"The lung did not meet strict quality standards and would normally have been discarded."

    Anyone else weirded out by the idea of organ quality control?
