    Amps and Gas Prices

    This was awesome.

    I also think it's a bit ironic, becuase as an amputee I am probably more reliant on my car than an able bodied person would be.  And I would guess that goes for all leg-amps.  You guys concerned about gas prices?

    Newsweek Story

    Friday, June 6, 2008, 07:02 PM [General]

    Did you see this story in Newsweek?

    It's about people who suffer from "Body Integrity Identity Disorder," which causes them to want to cut off their own limbs.

    The weird thing is, usually after they lose their limb (sometimes they bribe doctors to amputate for them), they like their body better than they did before.

    Is that crazy or what?
