Misters Potato Head

You know the thing where your ax handle breaks so you replace the handle but then the head breaks so you replace the head but it’s the same ax?

Lawrence C’rz and James Williams have been on a decade-long quest to test that proposition. Taking advantage of the rapid advancements in transplant technology, C’rz and Williams first exchanged left arms. Then, in a frenzy of globetrotting part-swapping that rapidly burned through the once-extensive fortune Williams had amassed as a metallurgist (lead into coltan, anyone?) they visited grey-shading-into-black clinics from Bazaruto to Bocas del Toro (always with the B’s?) until last year in Babeldaob (which, as you’ll recall from the shrill media coverage, submerged completely in September) when they exchanged heads. The body with Williams’ head died under medically ambigous circumstances, and the body with C’rz’ head is now on trial for manslaughter under the legal doctrine “guilt follows the head.”
