Food-safe? Not hardly: "no infection or irritation so far; in fact the site's doing pretty well, although i had to put superglue out of the toolbox in it yesterday. if all is still calm by next week, i will take it that Sugru doesn't cause major immediate damage to the interior of the human body" http://sapiensanonym.blogspot.com/2010/07/progress-bar.html http://sapiensanonym.blogspot.com/2010/07/progress-bar.html

I have no idea what the context behind this is, but that man is completely insane. From reading a small amount of his site, he seems to think he's going to get a research grant for implanting magnets in his face and shoving things into his hands? He seems to think it's all safe, but every other post on his blog is about how sick he is, how his hard drive is wrecked (what do magnets do, again?), and how much pain he's in? It seems he's seeing a psychologist, which is a good thing, but it doesn't seem to be working well for him. At any rate, I'd hardly consider this to be a great source, considering there are many details on his blog about how his flesh is dying where he as implanted random objects. There are people out there working on cyborg and transhuman technologies. People with training, expertise, and something to fall back on besides the NHS.
