Performance artists are known for pushing the bounderies, but one Australian has astonished his contemporaries by having a third ear implanted onto his arm.
The Cypriot-born eccentric Stelios Arcadious spent 10 years searching for a surgeon willing to perform the controversial operation.
He got his wish after working as a Research Fellow at Nottingham Trent University's Digital Research Unit. The ear was grown in a lab from cells and implanted into the 61-year-olds left forearm in 2006.
Mr Arcadious said he thought art "should be more than simply illustrating ideas." Once the ear has fully developed he hopes to get a microphone implanted as well.
"It is more of a relief at present than an ear but it is still recognisable as an ear," he said.

"Eccentric?" Moon biscuit is more like it. Dart this fool and haul him off to the latex lockup.
Hey, as long as he didn’t spend any government money to do it, I don’t care what kind of body art he is into. Save the latex lockup for more deserving specimens - like Al Gore. ;)
Looks a lot like Peter Boyle.
Talk to the arm.
You beat me to it
“Vincent, call home, we found your ear!”
“Tommy can you hear me?”
"Son of Young Frankenstein"
Can you ear me know?
Tattooing and body piercings are for amateurs!
Add an extra appendage!
LOL!
What’s next? Brains and consciences for liberals?
Is he going on a listening tour?
you don’t really want to know what’s next.
I guess the guy will want to avoid inserting hooped earrings in his arm-ear. Studs would not interfere as much with use of his arm.
I'm thinking surgically implanted a$$holes on their foreheads.
I hope he already has a woman, ‘cause I doubt chicks are gonna dig the extra ear.
