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"
Animal rights activists and squirrels alike are expressing outrage today, after a New York squirrel who grounded an American Airlines Flight was put to death. On February 14, Rocky, as the squirrel was known to friends, slipped past security and boarded a flight to Honolulu, Hawaii.
Rocky remained hidden within the Boeing 777 through the stop in Tokyo, but was discovered by pilots on route to Dallas Texas.
John Hotard, spokesman for the Fort Worth, Texas-based airline told CNN, "You do not want a varmint up in the wiring areas and what-have-you on an airplane. You don't want anything up there,"
The flight was diverted to Honolulu and all 202 passengers were given rooms in hotels for the night. Rocky, however, was not so comfortably treated. Rocky was captured by state wildlife officials and immediately executed.
Annie Blort, an animal rights activist and lawyer with the AACLU, (American Animal's Civil Liberty Union) is representing the family of Rocky the squirrel in a civil rights lawsuit against the state of Hawaii, "This is unconscionable, not only was my client denied due process and a fair trial, he was never proven a threat to the flight or it's passengers." Blort went on to comment that no explosive devices or weapons of any kind could be found on the squirrel, and that Rocky was just a mixed-up squirrel looking for a free ride. "This is a case of sqirrelism at its worst" Blort concluded.
Carl Fonteraine, a man who promised me that he was a press representative to the White Hose, had this to say, "Enemy Insurgent Squirrels are not afforded the same rights as law abiding squirrels under the Patriot Act. We have the right to detain, and yes, even execute them. Their participation in terrorist activity puts them in a different category."
When asked what the motivations of a terrorist squirrel might be, Fonteraine had this to say, "Squirrel insurgency has seen a sharp rise in recent years, although we have not yet made a provable link between the squirrels and Al-Quaeda, we know one is there. The fact that this is an American squirrel is what I find most disturbing."
Rocky's mother however, a portly middle aged New York squirrel named Florence, told a different story. "My son was a good squirrel." She said, "He had been mixed up in cashews, but he was getting his life back together. He wasn't no terrorist. They didn't have to kill him."
Actually, she didn't say any of that. She just chattered her little teeth and rolled an acorn in her paws. She's a squirrel, after all.
The incident reported was true. Annie Blort and Carl Fonteraine do not exist.
A seagull in Scotland has developed the habit of stealing chips from a neighborhood shop.
The seagull waits until the shopkeeper isn't looking, and then walks into the store and grabs a snack-size bag of cheese Doritos.
Once outside, the bag gets ripped open and shared by other birds.
The seagull's shoplifting started early this month when he first swooped into the store in Aberdeen, Scotland, and helped himself to a bag of chips. Since then, he's become a regular. He always takes the same type of chips.
The seagull, nicknamed Sam, has now become so popular that locals have started paying for his stolen bags of chips because they think it's so funny.
"He's got it down to a fine art. He waits until there are no customers around and I'm standing behind the till, then he raids the place.
"At first I didn't believe a seagull was capable of stealing crisps. But I saw it with my own eyes and I was surprised. He's very good at it.
