Thanks for the link, Phoenix. In so many ways I'm just a babe in the woods.

Edgarblythe- When you want to post a link, this is how you do it:
Go to the web page>right click-copy>Go to where you want to write a response on Able2Know>Left click URL A box will come up. Paste the URL in the box. Another box will come up, called "Webpage". Delete the word "webpage" and write a description of the URL.
I know, but when I do that on Yahoo News the link always takes you to Page Moved.

Edgarblythe- I didn't go to Yahoo News. I saw that the original article was from Reuters, and went to THEIR website.

I was in a pub the other day and this drunk Irishman was playing the traditional empty pint pot and spoon. Then he suddenly apologised because it wasn't the soul music his mate liked. "Soul music, thats fish music".
Thats right fish music
Do we know any fish songs? "There's a plaice for us...."
Well I thought it funny, but then I'd had a drink.

Update time. I saw a news item the other day: The first such transplant is being prepared.
Surgeons have carried out the world's first facial transplant on a woman who lost her lips, chin and part of her nose when savaged by dogs.
In an operation at the weekend hailed as a breakthrough, tissues, muscles and veins were taken from a dead donor to reconstruct the face of the 38-year-old woman.

This is fantastic! I am so happy!
I'm thinking of all those lil kids in the burn ward with horrible, horrible burns on their faces. It could mean a whole new life for some of them. Not to mention adults.
Truly amazing. This is technology being used for good.

Sure it is. Once you get past the shock value of the story, it's one of hope.
