Remember the guy whose severed thumb was replaced by his big toe? Well, Britain's James Byrne (or, as the BBC has it, "Toe-Thumb Man") has had his bandages removed. You can go have a look if that sort of thing interests you.

So many of you have thought to pass this along this morning that it is clearly the kind of event the entire community wishes to gather itself around. Who am I to say no? Here ya go: "A Michigan man's life was saved after his terrier bit off his big toe, alerting him to the seriousness of an infection while he was passed out drunk, according to The Grand Rapids Press."

What do you think? Has your terrier ever eaten your big toe while you've been unconscious due to inebriation, making you aware of a pressing medical condition? Tell us in the comments!

"A man who accidentally cut off his thumb has had his big toe attached in its place by surgeons." I have… some questions, the most pressing probably being, "Do we call it a toethumb or a thumbtoe?" But there are definitely others.

I have spent the morning in a shameful frenzy over the state of Ellen Pompeo's feet. I cannot explain why-toes don't really do it for me, and I'm sure Ellen Pompeo is a very nice person who is very good on her show, but she doesn't really do it for me either-except to blame it on the fever trance of the Internet. The cause of my ruination was this Daily Mail article, which suggests that all is not as it should be in Pompeo's pumps.
