How To Grow a Head
Taco Cowboy writes "British scientists have found a mechanism within our gene sequence that allows the growing of a new head — with brains, etc. The gene is tentatively known as smed-prep, and the information contained in smed-prep also makes the new cells appear in the right place and organise themselves into working structures."
Everyone was in favor of growing Hitler's head. But the when you grow it on the body of a great white shark -- ooh, suddenly you've gone too far!
(side note if you recognize that paraphrase: mark your calendars/DVRs for June 24th!)
My work here is dung.
a smed head?
Okay, that's it, science is getting too damn strange for me now.
two heads are better than one.
"Working" as in, you pull the chord and the ear moves?
Or "working" as in, you go for the chord, but the things runs off and starts multiplying and plotting the demise of your species?

to 'getting head'
Great way to get a head in this business
At the moment, this only works for flatworms, whose purchasing power is rather limited, last time I checked. So I doubt they will make a fortune soon. Then again, the difference between a banker and a flatworm is probably somewhat negligible. Actually, no, I am sorry. My sincerest apologies to all the flatworms reading slashdot.

According to the article, this technology is already here...assuming you can accept your new fingers having hair, eyes, and a brain.
Take it to the limit, everybody to the limit, come on, everybody fhqwhgads.

Everything was going great right up until I started masturbating ... then it got awesome.
"Do you have ANY idea how much that stings?!"
Those are not the body parts we seek.
I swear to God...I swear to God! That is NOT how you treat your human!
I know a group of cannibals that would trade you a nice banana picker for one of these!
Whilst a doubling of memory capacity is surely good, I'm not sure that adding a head with a single extra brain cell will improve a blonde's intelligence.... :-)

I'm glad I read through before replying, because I like yours more than what I was going to say.

Multi-Threading, here i come....
as is typical, lab results are promising, fascinating even, but not yet entirely practical. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v157/JackSpratts/PUFFER-SMITH-47645.jpg
And we all know what a group of bankers is called right?
We have a flock of geese, a herd of horses, etc.
And then there's a wunch of bankers.
Coz eternity my friend, is a long *ing time.
I don't know, I can't really tell whether that was a banker or a flatworm (again, deepest apologies in the latter case)
One that hath name thou can not otter
Well, CmdrTaco was quite clear that they found the genes in "our gene sequence", which I will have to assume to mean HIS gene sequence, and maybe that of other certain slashdot editors :-)
That explains a lot, really...
When I prayed every night, "Dear God, I wish I could get a little head", this was NOT what I meant!
I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.
