Sure - this time Randall is even himself uncertain! ;-) --Kynde (talk) 09:01, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

Removing the body around an appendix? That's easy, I can do that. Someone just point me to where the appendix is and how it looks and I'll cut away everything around it. Also, it sounds like the consciousness would remain in the appendix, which would likely not be very comfortable. Fabian42 (talk) 12:42, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

That reminds me of the apocryphal quote by Michaelangelo, that he got a big block of marble and chipped away everything that didn't look like David. Barmar (talk) 13:03, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

I considered making that same reference (except that I didn't know who said it), but the final argument against it was that I couldn't find the correct term for that art form, so I couldn't say what I was talking about. In German it's "Bildhauerei". All the translation websites only give me "sculpture", but I'm trying to talk about the process, not the product. Fabian42 (talk) 16:44, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
