No more parts to pierce? Want more body art without more body? Maybe you should do what one chipper Canadian has done -- implant microchips into the backs of your hands. Artist Nancy Nisbet says she wanted to explore the relationship between man and machine -- a merger she claims is inevitable. So she figured she'd beat evolution to the punch and get a better understanding of what "Terminator" times will feel like. The chips will track the Web sites she visits. And, yes, she did get the chips from the vet. So if she runs away, she can be easily identified and returned to her owner.
