Crabs on your organ! bddddddd ching!

Seriously, though, a girl at work stops into my office and asks if she can use my dictaphone. I say, No, use your finger like everybody else! Zing!
No, but really, seriously, blood and organ donor. And just for the record - I too, just like Sears3820, donated an organ to his wife last night!

A real Christmas story
HONG KONG (Reuters) - A Hong Kong schoolboy who died in a traffic accident has brought festive hope to at least seven other patients through the rare mass donation of a large number of his vital organs. Fourteen-year-old Miu Chi-ho died from brain injuries after being hit by a bus several days ago, but doctors were able to save the heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, skin, bones and corneas of the healthy and athletic teen-ager.
"There were at least seven recipients of the organs," said a spokeswoman with Hong Kong's Hospital Authority.
Miu's 41 year-old mother, a single parent on social welfare, ignored the protests of superstitious relatives in insisting on the donations to "bring hope to other families," Hong Kong's Apple Daily newspaper reported Friday.
"Even though I'm devastated, I want to do something for society," the paper quoted her as saying.
"(My son) is very great. Even though he's left us.

Pros to contribute to concussion study
BOSTON -- Three active NFL players are joining former players in agreeing to donate their brains after death to a Boston University medical school program that studies sports brain injuries.
The donations by Matt Birk of the Baltimore Ravens, Lofa Tatupu of the Seattle Seahawks and Sean Morey of the Arizona Cardinals were announced Monday. Morey says his donation will help improve the safety of retired and future athletes.
The players' brains and spinal cord tissue will go to the Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy so researchers can better understand the effects of concussions. More than 150 former athletes, including 40 retired NFL players, already are in the program's brain donation registry.
