Elbow integrated NFC ski pass (I’m not an anatomist).
Bunnie is responsible for the development of the first ever elbow-cap.
I do hope that once you’ve chosen the winning story, you’ll share with us how you actually broke your kneecap.

As far as personally-attached-to goes, nothing breaks having your wedding ring embedded in your bone.
FOAF’s father had his left ring finger degloved during an incident involving his wedding ring and a bannister wall mount.
Are the photos from the same outfit that does your PCB X-Rays?
