A friend of a friend tried to use this icon (http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y19/fnord777/gun.jpg) but at the last moment pulled away, resulting in half his face geting blown off, but surviving.

Unless you're French! Did your hear about this? A woman took a bunch of sleeping pills to kill herself and while she was out, her dog ate her face. Then after she was healed, doctors in France gave her the first-ever partial face transplant, from a woman who just committed suicide.

How weird is that to have someone elses face?

I like the idea. Too many uuuugly people and so many dead cute people! It's a phenomenon waiting to happen!
