Eye Transplant Enables Blind Boy to See
Chris Gondek points to this story carried by the Sydney Morning Herald, excerpting: "A one-year-old Pakistani boy saw the world for the first time yesterday through an eye donated by an Indian. Mohammed Ahmed gained partial vision after a difficult operation at the Agarwal Eye Institute in the southern city of Madras. Doctors said Ahmed, who was born blind, would get near-normal sight by the time he heads back to Karachi next week."
They went to punch him in the face and when he flinched, they screamed "SUCCESS!"
"An eye for an eye, and soon the whole world is blind." -- Gandhi
Oh, wait.
And no, I'm not new to /.
:-)
A slow learner then, maybe?
Just kidding...
So there is an Eye in team afterall. :)
After the eye transplant, the pakistani boy began to see the world... AS AN INDIAN WOULD. When he looked at the Kashmir territory, he saw Indian territory. The horror! With time the Indian cornea began to take over his entire body, and he began speaking in 18 different languages.

I wonder if he'd get it if we sent him letters reading:
Dear Geordi,
Congratulations on your eyesight.
More power to the engines,
Captain Your Name Here
move along now
Afterwards, the doctors gave him two punches to the arm for "flinching like a wussy". Doctors can be so childish sometimes.

I trust you did the right thing... and took him to a strip club immediately thereafter? :)
