Stelarc's third arm http://www.stelarc....au/third/third.html
This guy has got his third arm already. Now he's looking for a second set of ears. [TeaInTheAfternoon, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 17 2004]

Where can I buy one, [neelandan]?

My only concern is that just one extra arm may not be enough.

And poking myself in the eye.

I was hoping this would involve another arm, perhaps for wiping your arse with from time to time.

Would come in handy for lechers and Muslims.

Youth among sailors, UB?

You might consider transferring it to your belt, if you want it to wipe your arse. In that case a preprogrammed sequence would be preferable. "Both eyebrows together and up = wipe arse. Left down, Right screwed = hold drainage apparatus in appropriate position." The possibilities are endless.

This, however, is for people who lash up electronic circuits before committing to the full blown design of a printed circuit. Many a time I have added one more wire to a joint only to find that three wires spring out.

RT & cp, it seems, share my sentiments.

Phoenix: the system will have built in stops to avoid poking yourself in the eye.

Don't worry, Peter's mostly 'armless...
