'Ear ye, 'ear ye...

Here's something for all the hippies who think they're destroying society's bourgeois preconceptions by getting a nosering: strange artist Stelarc has had a third ear implanted into his forearm. The cell-cultivated ear was surgically inserted beneath the skin, and several more operations are planned to give it more definition. Plus he's got plans to "implant a mic inside the ear that will connect to a bluetooth transmitter, so the ear can broadcast audio from the internet wirelessly"... no idea what he means by that but it sounds like Tetsuo meets Frankenhooker. Very eerie... ha ha ha.
