face off....
ok, i keep hearing all this "FIRST FACE TRANSPLANT EVER!" all over the news, but I definitely remember watching a special about face transplants on one of the Science channels (Discovery, TLC, etc) in the last year or so, with Nala.
Something about the person having their complete face ripped off and then having to replace it.
I wish I could remember more details, because this is bugging the crap outta me.
