Title: Spare ear on your arm.
Post by: loulou on October 16, 2007, 12:33:19 am

Cyprus-born Stelios Arcadiou, known as Stelarc, says his extra ear, made of human cartilage, is an augmentation of the body's form.

Yes, it was supposed to be funny!

 

I think he's saying to the camera  "  'ear, what's this on my arm?"
