When George Clooney comes to town for some cause, he gets an audience with a lot of big European leaders. George Clooney has even talked about the treatment noting how he was outright rejected by the Russians and in China they just sent a low-level official to meet with him.

That would explain why the EU supports the ban on the seal trade. :D

oops looks like we owe an apology. the blond is the Danish PM Helle Thorning-Schmidt not the Dutch not Mark Rutte the Dutch PM
It is the Danish PM and I have downloaded the pics and corrected them accordingly. Do a refresh and they should be okay.

Ah, no...George. Tell me it ain't so! Imagine the Russian and Chinese leaders not treating you as a co-equal.

Chinese man's leg proves handy solution after arm severed

Doctors in China kept a man's severed hand alive for a month by attaching it to his leg, before restoring it to its usual position, a report said Tuesday.
The 25-year-old, identified by his nickname Xiao Wei, had his right hand sawn off by a drilling machine at work last month in Changde, in the central province of Hunan, the Xiaoxiang Morning Herald said.
The damage was too severe to re-attach the hand immediately, so surgeons in the provincial capital Changsha grafted it onto his lower leg, just above his Achilles tendon, to keep it alive .

Wow, that just goes to show that the human body is just a machine. A really sophisticated machine, but a machine nonetheless.

Wow! That is bizarre. But if it saved his hand, all the more power to him.

If they could make it work down there it would make it easy to scratch his foot or heel whenever necessary.

Imagine if they moved a patient into the ward and then at night...he raises his leg out of the mattresses and shows the guy his appendage... :cool:

That'd be psychologically too traumatic, not only knowing but "able to use" something that you know all too well not supposed to be there.

Still, if the process managed to keep the tissues alive and, granting the patience's youth (just 25 years old), if all goes well he should regain 90%+ of its pre-accident capacity.
