BBC headline.
So why would you want to do that then? rubschin:
-
Umm so your wife/partner/husband doesn't die?
Ahhh right. redface:

NO. it appears to a be a straight swap.

NO. it appears to a be a straight swap.
I saw it on the news this morning.
Couple one - wife needs kidney, husband not compatible
Couple two - husband needs kidney, wife not compatible.
Husband one is compatible with husband two. Wife two is compatible with wife one.
It's the first kidney exchange not within family or close friends.
There is a special database for this sort of thing now.
-
Nope!
Two British couples have donated and received kidneys from each other in the first paired transplants in the UK.
They are part of a new scheme aimed at increasing the number of donor organs.
Peter Horrell, from Cambridgeshire, donated one of his kidneys to a man from Lothian, while the man's wife gave a kidney to Mr Horrell's wife Roma.

Couldn't they just divorce and cross-marry? This is very confusing.

Perfect situation for a "cut and shut".
Make one completely healthy married couple from the four of them and dump the damaged bits in a layby.

And why only one liver then? rubschin:
-
That does seem cruel, we have 2 of most things ( rubschin:) but only one of those things that seem to be the most important (head, liver, willy* etc.)
* I am of course referring to boys here.

What would you swap around then? rubschin:

Nothing thank you. I am pretty much perfect as I am. eyes:

Of course, of course... ::)
But if you could swap your 'spare' kidney for an extra willy for instance... rubschin:
-
I believe you can donate part of your liver. I don't think you need all of it to survive.
-
The one I have doesn't get an awful lot of wear and tear. noooo: It's holding up quite well, despite its age.
-
I believe you can donate part of your liver. I don't think you need all of it to survive.
I do!
-

the liver can regenerate itself, it is particularly fond of milk. Have you ever left raw liver on a plate in the fridge only to find it wrapped around the milk bottle in the morning ??
I also know a trick with raw liver and a jam jar.. whistle: whistle: whistle: ( then I got a girlfriend )
-
What is the trick?

I suspect you'll be using this emoticon ( sick2: ) when he tells you... whistle:
-
I don't want to know. eeek:
-
Berek, don't tell her.
Oh, what's the point?? surrender:
-
lets just say it bears a resemblance to the female part.. thats where the phrase " like a butchers window " comes from.. whistle:

Well, I can inform you that the cognoscenti believe that the whole experience is improved if the liver benefits from the attentions of a microwave first! ;)

Normally without, though it is entirely possible that the presence of said larvae may well enhance the experience! Personally, I wouldn't know!

Well of course I would. On the other hand, you appear to be quite well informed on the subject BM - perhaps a cross of this topic with one of the scenes in American Pie would explain the presence of the meat pie in the microwave? (Though in American Pie, it was, IIRC, an apple pie!)

The male stingray has two penises eeek:
Don't know why I remembered that; it sought of stuck in my mind. The fact I mean, before anyone says anything...
-
Why does it need 2 then? In case it gets lucky?
"Phwoar, look at the gills on them 2" etc.
-
What would you do with an extra willy?

Ask a stingray? drumroll:

Wave it??
Twice the opportunity.

Ok, look away now / don't read if you're easliy offended...
A stingray's sex can be determined fairly easily based on the presence or absence of claspers, two "penises" connected to the inside of the pelvic fins of male rays. They are usually about the size of your pinky finger on mature specimens and are rolled up into hollow tubes. On juvenile rays, they look like tiny nubs and are a bit harder to identify, but it is still possible to tell males and females apart at this stage. You just need to look a bit closer.
The eggs are fertilized internally after the male inserts one of his claspers into the female's cloaca, which serves dual purposes in defecation and reproduction. In order to accomplish this, the male must grab hold of the female's disc with his mouth and roll underneath her, so that their bellies are facing one another. The actual sex act usually lasts no longer than a couple of seconds. Females can sometimes sustain slight injury during mating when the male bites her, which is why they have evolved thicker, more durable skin than males. If you are trying to breed rays, be sure to pick a male that is the same size or slightly smaller than the female, as a larger male can overwhelm and seriously injure the female in his overzealous mating attempts.

Sounds complicated!

And I suppose Mrs Ray would say in the afterglow: "Well, I'm buggered"
