Wow, what a wild story!  I have my doubts about it though because if it were 
true, the media would have loved something as interesting as this and would 
have had a field day with it.  Thus far, I have not seen any reference to 
this by any reputable news organizations, but maybe someone should forward it 
to one of the networks for verification.  I'm chuckling as I write this 
message because it amazes me what people can come up with on the net!  Well 
heck, if they're going to take the kidneys, I'd like for them to do a little 
liposuction and/or a face lift on me while they're at it (grin).  I could 
sure use a little fat sucked out of my double chin, and other places I won't 
mention here, and it wouldn't be such a bad thing to come back from a 
convention with a nice new beautiful face.  Hey, it sounds like a good one 
for alt.humor to me.  Actually, I'm much more concerned about having my purse 
stolen or getting lost in the hotel than having my kidneys removed by 
strangers.  Well, thanks for the laugh, and have a great day.
