jokes: voice boxing, frog fishing

British doctors are debating whether it is ethical to start clinical trials to allow voice box transplantation.

It is only a matter of time before other ethical questions will arise, such as how to decide who gets to have James Earl Jone’s voice box.


A brightly-coloured fish which bounces along the seabed has been hailed as a new species of frog fish by scientists - who have dubbed it "psychedelica".

Yes, people should be allowed to make up their own minds, their own deeply drug-addicted minds.
