Artist implants 'third ear' on his own arm
Performance artists are known for pushing the bounderies, but one Australian has astonished his contemporaries by having a third ear implanted onto his arm.
The Cypriot-born eccentric Stelios Arcadious spent 10 years searching for a surgeon willing to perform the controversial operation.

He got his wish after working as a Research Fellow at Nottingham Trent University's Digital Research Unit. The ear was grown in a lab from cells and implanted into the 61-year-olds left forearm in 2006.
Mr Arcadious said he thought art "should be more than simply illustrating ideas." Once the ear has fully developed he hopes to get a microphone implanted as well.
"It is more of a relief at present than an ear but it is still recognisable as an ear," he said.

"The last operation was in September 2006 and its only now that I'm about ready for the next step.
"I hope to have a tiny microphone implanted to it that will connect with a bluetooth transmitter; that way you can listen to what my ear is hearing."
A man goes to the doctor.
The doctor says, "Sir, you're going to have to stop pleasuring yourself."
The man asks, "Why Doc ?"
The doctor says, "Because I'm trying to give you an exam !"
Its midnight, time to head to bed. Or, at least relocate the bed and flip the TV on. Watched for about 10 minutes, then.... thump thump thump.....louder than the TV. Grrr. Deciding that this just isn't tolerable, GG redresses, heads downstairs, knocks on door. No one answers. Knocks again. No one answers.... hmmm, what to do now? There's no after hours number for the apartment complex, so not really any number to call and complain.
GG heads back upstairs, hoping it will go away. It doesn't. Deciding maybe she doesn't want to do a midnight confrontation with neighbors she hasn't met, but yet wanting the noise to stop, she goes back outside.
Paces.
Walks around the building to make sure that it is indeed the apartment she thinks it is.
Fears the giant cockroaches that are lurking in the mulch next to her.
Paces some more.
Finally, frustration building, she gets a burst of adrenaline and goes back to door. More than a serious knuckle rap, she does a full fisted bam bam bam. So loud that upstairs, Gary opens the door to see whats going on. GG means business.
Who answers the door? Some girl in a towel. GG was ready for drunk frat boy confrontation (she's seen guys and girls go into this apt). Errrrr... switch gears.
"hey, you mind turning down your radio? its making my bed vibrate" (...but GG should like that, right?)
"oh, sure, I was in the shower"
awkward moment.... she's in a towel, GG has too much anger she's trying to hide...
uh.... "thanks, its loud"
