B.I.I.D.

i write one post about getting my hairscut and immediately i'm advertising hair removal products. how interesting.

well, take this ad sense, more amputee content...thanks to the lovely and talented jules for passing this along.

this being a story about a slightly different set of amputees. people with b.i.i.d. otherwise known as body integrity identity disorder. for those of you who don't know what body integrity identity disorder is, you really should start watching more grey's anatomy or nip/tuck or csi new york.

but to sum up, b.i.i.d. is basically a neurological disorder resulting in a psychological condition that causes a person to feel that he or she would be happier living life as an amputee and is usually, if not always, accompanied by the strong desire to amputate one or more healthy limbs in order to obtain this life.

fun stuff, huh.

not too long ago the science television program, catalyst took a closer look at the disorder. suffice to say, the results were fascinating.
