It's actually a fairly standard method for replacing a nose! This way, they can just cut around the upper nose leaving the bit at the 'top' connected and just kind of rotate it into place without worrying about losing the blood supply to it during transplant.

Here's a decent article on the why's of what they are doing.

Didn't some guy lose his penis in a electric fence accident and have it grow back on his leg like that?

High blood supply to ensure it stays alive, probably. If I had to guess I'd say he's growing a new nose to replace a damaged one.

Surely you don't think that that he's growing for any other reason? A bet? A fashion accessory? He really likes to smell coffee?

That spending a couple hundred bucks to change their kids name they used to win a couple hundred bucks of video games is a little silly.

I'd imagine that the terms of the award prevented them from doing so as well.

I don't know what's worse...that name, or that I'm upset they used her title, not her actual name.

I think Daenerys would be slightly better, because at least the girl would have the option of going by Dany, not an entirely unheard of name for a girl.

As bad as it was that Twilight influenced a generation of Edwards, Bellas, and Jacobs, and least those are established names, not ones made up for a freakin' fantasy series.

Made worse by Kazooie actually being a girl in the game. I can imagine that one being uncomfortable.

Most those kids could probably get used to their names since they sound kinda namelike, but that's just 2 words that you don't name things slapped together into one big lovely word you definitely don't want to name a child.

Majora was a mask with no particular gender I'm aware of.

It's funny how many people I knew when banjo kazooie came out who thought Kazooie was a boy despite, you know, her main ability being to lay eggs.

I can almost understand: male birds laying eggs, like bulls with udders, are a staple of dumb cartoony stuff. But only almost since that's still a really dumb assumption.

Although the corollary to this is the transvestite Birdo from SMB2:
