Well hello! How's it going today? I know...the usual aches and pains, right? Well, when you fill your mug, grab a virtual treat or two and bring them over to the VIP table, I'll tell you about how pain and more pain have slowly morphed people into animals...
The list of all-time extreme body modifiers would start with the late Dennis "Stalking Cat" Avner (who incrementally cut, chipped, tattooed, pierced and implanted his body to make himself a human feline)...
The similarly obsessive Erik "Lizardman" Sprague, who at one time toured with the Jim Rose Circus. And...
Britain's Ted Richards, 57, working to become a human parrot. With 110 colorful tattoos, 50 piercings and a split tongue, he currently seeks a surgeon to turn his nose into a beak. Even without the beak, though, Richard says becoming parrotlike "is the best thing that has happened to me."
Sure, I can understand botox, eyebrow tattooing, etc. but this is a bit extreme, don't you think? Most people are unhappy with one part of their body or another and many crave much more affection and/or recognition than they get, and I suppose if it makes them happy...
See ya, eh!
