Face Transplants On The Way
kwertii writes "A British surgeon claims face transplants are just a few months off. The procedure "could involve a patient being given new lips, chin, ears, nose, skin and bone from a recently deceased person." The problem? Surveys indicate that very few people are willing to donate their face. Would you?"
If you look at the picture of Dr. Butler, you realize why he's working on this technique.
Did you know you can fertilize your lawn with used motor oil?
"What?"
"Nothing... just a deja vu."
"What exactly did you see?"
"Uh... an article was posted, then the exact same article was posted again."
"Are you sure it was the same article?"
"Pretty sure, yeah. What's wrong?"
"A deja vu is a glitch in Slashdot. It happens when they change something..."
If Jesus wants me it knows where to find me.
...who named his son Pete. He had another son, so he called him Repete.
(buh-dump) Thank, you, I'll be here all week.

Sure, the dead have no more use for a face than a liver. If you want my face, your desperation would no doubt elicit my sympathy (except that I'd be preoccupied with the whole being dead business).
Helium balloons want to be free.
They but a new face on this story.
Then re-used it

...from yesterday's news!
Renews for nerds. Stuff that rematters
I'm sure they'd prefer to label themselves editors, but look at the facts:
1. They can't spell, and do absolutely no grammar or spelling correction.
2. They don't do any research to ensure correctness. Duplicate stories, and complete falsehoods are posted as if they are new, valid articles.
3. The only real purpose of the Slashdot Janitorial Team is to give a 'thumbs up' or 'thumbs down' to stories. An monkey with a diaper could do the same job, and make less of a mess of things.
4. The only occasional worthwhile actions of the janitors is fixing the dying MySQL system. They've created a horribly designed database, and are trying to run a pathetic excuse for a relational DB on a second class OS. This system breaks constantly, and occasionally the slashdot janitors manage to fix it within the hour.
There you have it. Proof that slashdot editors are really just janitors.
You kidding? When I go, I'd be happy to donate for free!
I mean, come on... everyone should have the opportunity to look as good as me.
Oy vey. I read that as "face striping" and started postulating redundant arrays of inexpensive faces.
"I'm not a hypocrite - my face is simply configured for RAIF 1".
"Are you being weird, or sarcastic?" said Emma. I said I didn't know because I get the two feelings mixed up.
The repeat is here while the original is STILL in the front page! At this rate, the duplicates will soon be posted before the originals.
Who needs a 'brand new' dead face? Botox kills the one you already have!
Karma: Excellent (fuck, even in the future moderation doesn't work!)
Hey, what about butt transplants, like you know when you've pooped too much and worn it out, or if your butt is really ugly. Chicks dig a cute butt.
Face auctions on e-bay
(shudders)
I prefer to think of this type of occurence as proof of my ability to predict the future. Why, tomorrow, I bet we'll learn to how test internet connections with sound!
Yeah, surely it *can't* be hard to set up a system where an editor types in a few keywords for each story.
Or maybe they could set up some kind of system to display a list of articles that have already been posted on Slashdot. They could scan through it for articles that look similar.
Oh, wait... Or maybe a page that displays summaries for the most recently posted articles. Maybe a system like that is too difficult to implement?
