acute Posted March 31, 2019 #3 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I still say it's a body transplant, not a head transplant. Nobody ever said "Hey, I think I'll get a new head!" 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently it's a cute hoor, I say fecker, it's basically means Person who quietly engineers things to their own advantage. Often called a sneaky ****e, or a snake. https://www.irelandbeforeyoudie.com/irish-slang-top-80-most-used-expressions/ Edited March 31, 2019 by danydandan 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin_Shadowes Posted March 31, 2019 #9 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Maybe the goal is to transplant George Soros head to a much younger body? Maybe not only Soros but people like him. Scary thought isn't it? Tyrants can live forever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenemet Posted April 1, 2019 #14 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I'm calling hoax. In order to be able to successfully transplant a head, you have to be able to regrow nerves. We're not to that stage yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esoteric_toad Posted April 1, 2019 #17 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Since we cannot restore nerve endings in the spine to restore those that are paralyzed it is beyond obvious this is a ridiculous BS claim. These 'doctors' keep the story going though, every few months another claim and every few months these stupid "news" sites pick it up. I guess it is a good way to keep your name out there.

It's powered by beer, usually 10 beers will propel you 6 hours into the future. Unfortunately I can't always predict where I will materialize and the effects of temporal displacement are headache and nausea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is common practice when you want to pump and dump a Penny stock, or push up the price on a junk stock. Edited April 6, 2019 by tmcom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
