Sci-fi
fan gets Spock Ears

This is either the most promising sign of Chinese integration
into the developed world, or the start of a brave new wave of serious
body-mods…

A sci-fi fan in China has had plastic surgery to give himself ears like
Star Trek’s Mr Spock.

The young man astonished surgeons in Nanjing by telling them he wanted
alien-like pointy ears.

He told them he was bored with the shape of his ears and wanted to make
them a ‘more interesting’ shape.

Plastic surgeons tried to talk the man out of the idea but he was adamant
and the operation went ahead, the Yangtze Evening News reported.

Cosmetic surgery has boomed in popularity in China in recent years but
the operation in Nanjing is believed to be the first of its kind.
