Fark is currently running a Photoshop contest on “futuristic body modifications”. There are some clever entries (but sadly most are pretty lame), but what’s especially funny to me is that some of the modifications are far from “futuristic” to BME readers — things like eyelid piercing and tongue tattoos.

It’s like an anatomy lesson
Written by
Most of the time genital bisections have enough scarring and inaccurate cutting to hide the original underlying anatomy, but sometimes I see split penises that are so cleanly done that they might as well be part of an anatomy text. In the one below you can see exactly where the urethra once was, as well as all of the internal functional elements. Click the picture to unpixelate it.
