I'm not a fan of amputation photos and when I first ran across this story I sort of shuddered and hid from my computer screen before tacitly deciding that the good readers of Bodyhack could do without a post of, well, a hacked up body. But enough people forwarded me this link that I realize it is my solemn duty to confer it onto you.

The back-story to the photos is a little thin, but apparently a man in Valencia, Spain somehow lost his arm in a drainage ditch before showing up to his local hospital with the freshly severed limb. The doctors responded by stitching it back to his stump, but soon realized that the sewer water was going to spread infection. They would have to relocate the arm to another part of his body to keep it viable while they cleared away infected areas with antibiotics. With the family's consent, they moved it to his groin where it could easily hook in to his blood supply.

Wow!....Thanks. I think.

If I wasn't such a sensitive, caring dude, I could come up with all sorts of sick one-liners about an arm reaching out from someone's crotch...


But we won't go there (yet).

Muahahahahahahaah <------evil laugh

I was just thinking how difficult it would be for this guy to jerk off, but I didn't want to say it.

It would sure look funny if he had to walk around like that.

Is that an arm in your pocket or are you just glad to meet me?

Pleased to meet you...would you like to shake hands on that?
