And it did not work. Not at all. For exactly the reasons I enumerated over a year ago!!

I knew Dick Cheney was old, but who knew?

My horse is high to keep my head above yours.

Or those with a penchant for making bad long-term decisions.

You compare the use of prosthesis to correct a deficiency with self-mutilation in the name of enhancement?

Violent revulsion at the mutilation of the human body is, perhaps, prejudicial.
