The Arms Race


You'll be happy to know that Karl Merk (center, as if you couldn't tell) is doing well after receiving a double arm transplant.
Six years ago this German farmer lost his arms just below the shoulders. Now he's got the arms of someone else grafted on to his body!
It could take up to two years for him to learn how to use the new arms, but he is already doing some basic tasks with them. No one's saying what those basic tasks are, but I can guess what they're not.

Looks like he's desperately trying to figure out how to gain enough control of his foreign arms to strangle the guy sitting to his left.
