- Killers:Knight and Day::Deep Impact:Armageddon? -- nm - Beryllium May 24, 22:27 4
  - (Keep in mind, before answering, that I think Armageddon is fantastic, and I haven't seen Deep Impact) -- nm - Beryllium May 24, 22:27 3
    - I think neither Armageddon nor Deep Impact wins in quality, but Armageddon is more fun in its badness. -- nm - Qale May 24, 22:28 2
      - I guess that's kind of what I meant by "fantastic". :) -- nm - Beryllium May 24, 22:30 1
        
        I actually still kind of like Ashton. And I like Diaz. Ah, maybe they'll both be pretty. -- nm - Qale May 24, 22:33

The images in this hand surgery lecture are gross. There was just an image of all the fingers cut off just a bit above the wrist by a power tool. - James Bond (aka Igor) May 24, 22:05 9
- One of the take home messages of the lecture: don't throw away amputated parts... -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) May 24, 22:09 8
  - Oh, and here is the part about using the big toe for the thumb. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) May 24, 22:11 3
    - And here is the part about transplanting hands... - James Bond (aka Igor) May 24, 22:16 2

  - and don't take hands donated from serial killers - sideways pixie May 24, 22:10 3
    - Funny you say that... the surgeon opened the lecture by saying there is a debate about whether the brain controls the hand - James Bond (aka Igor) May 24, 22:27 2
      - Of all the appendages that could potentially control the brain ... hand doesn't leap to mind as #1 -- nm - Beryllium May 24, 22:28 1
        
        He said hand is the second most complicated ... but then he is a hand surgeon they all think their field is the best. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) May 24, 22:32

Did anyone else who has a mycokerewards account just get an e-mail from ABC.com saying thanks for opening an account? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) May 24, 21:43 6

- nope. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 21:46 1
  - Strange. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) May 24, 21:54

    - It's a trap! -- nm - Admiral Cokebar May 24, 21:50
A FB friend proudly announced that he and his wife are pregnant, included pictures of the positive pregnancy test, 14 week sonogram, etc. - ty97 May 24, 21:39 3

- Maybe he's trying to win brownie points. -- nm - Qale May 24, 22:28

Did you know that they can make a functional thumb out of an index finger? - James Bond (aka Igor) May 24, 21:08 11
- I think they should use the middle finger...that way you could give a thumbs up and flip them off at the same time. -- nm - BAD May 24, 21:30 2
  - I will suggest that to the surgeon. :P -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) May 24, 21:32 1
    - then everyone will think the guy wanted to be Jerry Garcia -- nm - peglegpete May 24, 21:46
- but how does hold a pencil without then index finger? -- nm - peglegpete May 24, 21:12 1
  - Good question, there is an image of the kid actually holding a big pencil. There is just a bigger gap between the new thumb and the 2nd finger, but - James Bond (aka Igor) May 24, 21:13
- A lot of the time they use the big toe for that ... -- nm - Beryllium May 24, 21:08 5
  - Would it be functional? What woud you do about the nerves? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) May 24, 21:12 4
    - I've heard of this numerous times and it seems to work very well. -- nm - zork May 24, 21:15
    - It usually is, from what I understand. Something about those nerves gives them a better regenerative ability than other locations. -- nm - Beryllium May 24, 21:14 2
      - and it looks more like a thumb than a finger does -- nm - zork May 24, 21:16
      - (But that could be misremembered BS) -- nm - Beryllium May 24, 21:14
