I’d have my tail removed. There’s barely any clothing that accommodates a tail and I’m not much of a fan of assless chaps.

Seriously though, I’d have a leg removed. It doesn’t bother me which one as long as I could replace it with a good old-fashioned peg-leg.

As for the story, I found it intriguing but a bit difficult to read – maybe too much going on or too many new terms and images in a small amount of text, not sure. Good imagery though.

@HeyRadialMoon: I’m pickin up what you’re putting down. But if you’re missing an arm you can’t try “The Stranger” method. That’s a sad existence if I’ve ever known one.

@Derek: Miiiight be reading too much into it chap. Just mebbeh. :D

@brandon: Man that sucks. Well at least it’s not a back injury. A friend of mine once described it as the most horrible pain afflicting them through most of the day. Injury is injury, of course. At least it’s not as bad as it could have been.

@joiywtj: Get a new nick! And did you know that there’s a number of left handed people who die every year because of right-handed products? Seriously.

@brookebee: Wow. Probably the most intricate answer I’ve heard yet! Although the consensus seems to be the less dominant arm, which I don’t get. Then again, not everyone shares my penchant for pimped out wheelchairs.

@Antha: ANTHA! Seems like you’re the first person to think about cutting a leg off! Good for you! Have a complimentary stolen hospital wheelchair! Pretend it’s a spaceship.

@Merr: I agree. Not to mention it’d be fucking SWEET to have one of those upsidedown questionmark feet.

I would choose to take off my left leg. I have a sweet ass tattoo on my right foot that hurt so much to get so I just wouldn’t want to part with it. I’d take off a leg instead of an arm because I think having a fake leg would be more efficient then having a fake arm.

Definitely going to go with left left leg here. I have arthritis and RLS in that knee[i'm only 21! Ugh!], and i don’t really need it much except to walk, which is overrated anyways. I use my right leg to drive, so…

Losing one of my arms…i don’t think i could handle that. I’m pretty much ambidextrous for the exception of writing, which is totally only right-handed. But i can play guitar right or left-handed, and a lot of other things.

i love when you said that thing about what the 80s thought the future would be…thats an interesting concept for all generations.. their depiction of what they thought the future would be.

the limb that i would choose would have to be one of my arms if i amputated one of my legs my scoliosis would probably get worse on one side and twist a weird way because i would be Hopping on one leg and applying intense pressure to one hip and … yeah it just wouldnt be pretty. so i would say goodbye to my left arm ….i dont like that hand much it cant do anything and i believe it is controlled by my left brain and i dont like that lobe so much its boring and uncreative. I would also be interested to see …actually damn i couldnt get rid of my left arm because my top curve with my scoliosis would probably get worse because on the top half of my body it curves to the right so not having the weight of that arm there would make it go more to the right and be bad !

ugh… arms.

I use my left arm/hand for everything except writing…even so, I’d pick the left arm.
I could learn to make my right arm as tough and smexy as my left…some day.

This question poses a dilemma of two kinds; not only which limb you are willing to permanently remove for survival, but, if it is a possibility, which limb would you have superpowered?!

Cue the opening sequence to ‘The Six Million Dollar Man’, specifically the quote heard ’round the Sci-Fi world: “Gentlemen, we can rebuild him.. we have the technology.” A question like that following a blog post surely suggesting an environment with near-infinite technological capabilities…

In that case, I would remove my right leg (both, actually, but you asked for just one) in replacement for a bionic super-leg. I’m sure Aperture Science would be happy to oblige with the design and surgery of the procedure. After all, I AM nothing more than a test subject.

…

Am I reading too far into this..? I just got caught up in a fantastical world somewhat parallel to iRobot.. Ive gabbed on for far too long here. Hope you enjoyed Portal as much as I did Ben.

Arm. Left arm to be exact. I happen to be right handed and I need both legs to walk. I have never been very good at hopping. If you think about it, most really important tasks can easily be accomplished with only one hand, if you catch my drift.
