That's nothing, I've learned to send commands to my wireless hub by wiggling my toes high in the air. I've also written an input driver that uses winks and blinks to navigate slashdot.:-)

Local man dismembers his own member Cherry Hill Times November 18, 1997
CLAYTON, NJ. Early Tuesday morning New Jersey State Police were astonished to come across a man on the side of the road without any clothing on bleeding from his groin. The 26 year old man was staggering about, holding his hand over his crotch, stammering, saying "can somebody please help me?" Police soon discovered that the man's penis had been torn off, leaving a bloody stump. Investigating the situation while summoning paramedics, Sheriff William Brown claimed "This is one of the most disturbing things I have ever seen in my career as a police officer, I really don't know what to make of it. The man's penis was gone." As the paramedics arrived the sheriff's deputy had located the detached member about 30 feet away lying in the ditch near the man's clothes, along with some drug paraphanalia. Paramedics had rushed him to St. Francis Medical Center 10 miles north where the ER staff was able to successfully reattach the mans penis." Medical examiner Soren Matthews, doing bloodwork had noticed abnormally high amounts of dextromethorphan, PCP, crack and marijuana in his bloodstream. "Dextromethorphan is a common additive in cough syrup, at recommended doses it can suppress the instinct and urge to cough during colds and flu.", Matthews stated. "At extreme levels, it can cause hallucinations, euphoria, a sense of detachment from reality and a general anesthesia."
Several hours later, police were able to speak with the victim and find out what exactly happened. They discovered he had drank 3 4oz bottles of Robitussin Maximum Strength several hours prior to being discovered. He had gone out for what he liked to call a "wonderwalk" and suddenly got the urge to masturbate. Not realizing that he couldn't feel himself, tried for several minutes and noticed a shock wave resounding throughout his body. He then realized that he was holding his detached penis in his right hand. He was very fortunate that the police found him when they did.
Matthews went on further to state "People need to be aware of what they are doing to themselves. Common over-the-counter medicines have specific dosages there for a reason and when you abuse that tragedies like this happen. Parents everywhere need to look for the signs that their children are 'robotripping'." According to St. Francis Medical Center, this was the 3rd dextromethorphan related incident that they had seen this year. The other two incidents were and both involved teenagers at party situations taking Coricidin, another brand of OTC cough tablets. Both of these incidents were unrelated to each other. The man, who wishes to remain unidentified, was not charged with the possession of the paraphanalia since the circumstances were so bizarre.

I have a gripe about wallpapers. Not long ago, a 1024x768 pixel wallpaper was HUGE. Not so anymore. At work we use screens with perverse resolutions, and any wallpaper on the looks pixelated and not very pretty. Why not store the wallpapers as 4000x3000 px pics? (Aside from size and transfer times) These are professional pictures, the input should be more than enough to do it...
