He Surgically Alters Thumbs To Better Use iPhone

This Guy Is The Ultimate Fanboy

Thomas Martel, 28, of Bonnie Brae is a big guy. So he has a hard time using the features on ever-shrinking user interfaces on devices like his new iPhone. At least, he did, until he had his thumbs surgically altered in a revolutionary new surgical technique known as "whittling."

"From my old Treo, to my Blackberry, to this new iPhone, I had a hard time hitting the right buttons, and I always lost those little styluses," explains Martel. "Sure, the procedure was expensive, but when I think of all the time I save by being able to use modern handhelds so much faster, I really think the surgery will pay for itself in ten to fifteen years. And what it's saving me in frustration - that's priceless."

"This is really, on the edge sort of stuff," explains Dr. Robert Fox Spars, who worked on developing the procedure. "We're turning plastic surgery from something that people use in service of vanity, to a real tool for improving workplace efficiency."

:crazy:

and he has to use those bitty thumbs to forage for nuts and berries.

I hearby nominate you! :rofl:

He won't need a stick to poke into antholes for protein. :thumbsup:

that nomination. I got a real good chuckle out of that one.

Now I wonder if I can get this Bluetooth headset surgically implanted...

nose at it... or whittle his nose.. or, hey, why is it ok to pick your nose, and pick your friends, but not pick your friend's nose?

What a fucking idiot. They will probably have thought control devices within five years. He's gonna feel like a dumbass.

Does he think that technology will simply stand still now that we have the iphone?

That's just like my friend, Bob Sakamano, who had his fingers whittled down to make using the rotary phone easier to use (and therefore, more productive) back in the seventies. Nowadays, he has an easier time picking his nose, but that's about it.

Is he insane?

He Is a ...

Now, Information Week is wrong about the story disappearing; but it is true that James Benfly doesn't appear to have written any news story on the web apart from this one; "Robert Fox Spars" or "Robert Spars" doesn't appear in a Google search apart from this story; and it would be, as everyone has noted, an incredibly stupid thing to do. I have my doubts this is real.

But Can You Stick Your Dick in It?

I used to have a boyfriend. He was actually perfect: cute, funny, thoughtful, lots of chemistry, pulled my hair at all the right times. He was, for a period, even attentive--that is, until June 29, 2007, when the iPhone went on sale. And just like that, homewrecking Steve Jobs took my man away from me.
