I'm sure most of you may have already seen this, but it is
still astounding. :-)

A Jamaica man who tried to surgically replace his fingerprints with skin from his feet in a failed bid to enter the US 
illegally has been jailed for 13 months.

Marc Terrance George, 41, was jailed last week after earlier pleading guilty to illegal entry after deportation, AP 
reports.

George went to extreme lengths to avoid detection, but his ruse was uncovered by US Customs and Border Protection 
officers at his attempted port of entry in Nogales, Arizona. As well as the illegal entry conviction, George faces 
possible trial on money laundering offences in New Jersey.
