The "Kopffüßer" (cephalopod) below got my attention because I'm going to be turned int one soon.
A few days after we are back from Cyprus, a world-renowned surgeon will take out a part off my fibula
(that smaller bone in your lower leg) and stuff it into my mouth. Does not sound like a lot of fun (and isn't;
trust me, I went through the experience by now) but goes a long way in reconstructign an upper jaw
bone that was lost to begnin but recurring tumors. Soon I might have teeth again!
