Once upon a time, I was doing a little metalworking in my garage. I grabbed a hot piece of steel (sans gloves) and burned all of my fingerprints off most of my fingers. For about a week, I had an impossible time at my day job. Part of my job involved separating the yellow copies from the white copies on carbon-copy receipts.
I can assure you, fingerprints were indeed useful for that. I did the same tasks with and without fingerprints, and I noticed a difference.
This is very unhealthy for the body. One or two piercings at a time, I can understand. But putting that many holes in one's body is just begging for some kind of infection. (I know they use all sterile stuff, but there's a lot of dirt out there, and this guy is asking a lot of his immune system.)

I would love to meet this Peter Locke, and talk mosaics. Gimme a call, Pete!
I know I've seen this before. I thought it was here. Either way, I like it. A lot.
