"Campy" Hip Replacement?
If bicycle and component manufacturers made replacement body parts, what would they be, and what would be their characteristics?

I have stock in a joint manufacturer, Zimmer Holdings, so request one of those, please. 
My mother broke her hip and the doc came out to take to me at the ER and explained the procedure to me. When he was done, I told him that i hoped he was using a Zimmer joint. He said that in matter of fact he was and wanted to know why. I explained that i had stock in the company and he just laughed.

Since Home Depot was closed, and I really needed my hip fixed, I suggested they use the Ti bolts holding my water bottle cages on.
