Now there's a bit of political art...

Both the clinic and the "artist" would be violating US law which forbids the sale of body parts--to say nothing of medical confidentiality.

Art piece, not likely to be his exact fat molecules...
er, I don't think.

Reminds me of a comedy my ex-husband wrote (never filmed).

Not that I label italians as a group, as they to my slight knowledge are even more varied and idiosyncratic than the rest of us on the planet, but I have noticed a certain verve for political posturing. Thus, an early protest against Berlusconi, back in the early nineties, had marchers wearing Pinocchio noses (re lies).

Hmmm, we could adapt that, here in the US.

Well, THIS 'clean hands' program has certainly a better chance of success than the original Berlusconi's one...

<gack>!

I was eating when I viewed that page. Curiosity and the cat and all that.

serves you right. you should eat nicely in the kitchen behind the table with a white tablecloth and all that. don't forget to wash your hands with soap before you eat though...

Dag, I shoot for eating while sitting (couch, desk, table, floor) rather than standing. My standards are basic.

How about eating in bed? Potentially diastrous..but..

Btw, the Romans had it right, eating while lying on divans.

nooo, not while lying - that's bad for the digestion, no?

depends on the food group, i'd say. spaghetti, perhaps not in bed. chocolate, most certainly in bed. tofu....who the hell eats tofu anyway?

does one have teflon type sheets? then popcorn seems like a find idea. If one has to watch for juicy spotting on whatever wale cotton sheets, good grief, then one should be within aim of some mechanism for washing and thrashing.

Unless luxe sheets are a one time thing, in which case I cannot comment even in jest, that being far from my purview, though I have friends who either have those sheets easily or crave them.

Me, eh, though I'd recognize them.

MrB, that was no assist. I never know how to spell that word, so I just followed suit.

Snacks in bed, sitting up, are a-ok.

As I remember, only the Roman men were encouraged to dine recumbant. Women could perch on the foot of the couch or sit decorously on a chair.
