  1. What was the occupation of the practitioner who performed the procedure? Just curious. I actually like the way it looks, I wish we could see picks without the black bars :-P.

  11. I’m assuming it was done under general anesthesia? I know people who have had nose jobs who say it hurts like hell… I cant imagine a nose amputation without pain.

    If not, kudos to him for chasing his dream.

  39. oh man oh man oh man oh man.
    I’ll keep my mouth shut.

    I will say, that this reminds me of another interview
    when BME was based out of Mexico a few years ago.

  41. Wow! The photo of him does remind me of the Bert/Ernie “Got your nose” gag. It’s so nice to hear about someone who is so happy! Also I love the pun in his pseudonym (Sin nariz= without nose in Spanish).

  57. Are you all naïve ?

    It’s April Fool !

    But I admit it looks awesome ^__^”

    But Having no nose would cause severe infections 🙁

  67. *eyes the wall hanging with the grid and the numbers*

    I actually met a guy with no nose on the bus once. It was outside a VA hospital. The weirdest thing about it was, the guy HAD nostrils (he was on his way to reconstruction, I think). There was a bandage where the cartilage lower part of the nose is, and then two holes into his head up higher (where the nose hole is obvious on a skull).

    Looked FREAKY. But he was working it as best he could.

  79. I really commend him for having the confidence to go through with it.
    if attaining happiness includes changing your body, then what’s wrong with that?
    I thought the interview was very enlightening. he seems like he would be an awesome person to have a conversation with.
    the only downside is that I’m sure this will be all over the internet soon,
    with people saying “he’s a freak zomg zomg!!!1″
    judging him, without really trying to understand why he did what he did. oh well, we can’t expect everyone to be open-minded.
    in any case, I wish him well. bravo for the great interview.

  103. Sweet, sweet irony would be if you had an outrageous real interview and posted it in a year, so everyone would think it was because of the day but then the prank would be that it wasn’t one.

    As always, an interesting read. Thanks.

  107. So I hope today being April fools he is making use of his Bert and Ernie nose. Everything on BME is outside the norm but within the community there a regular assortment of what you see but this is something new. I like it. It does make that bit between your nose and upper lip look uneccesary.

  119. The best part of this April fools day joke is the allusion that Howie would be the only practitioner that would touch a nose removal… Personally I think it would be more likely that “EG” would be the artist…

  127. I wonder some things like- is his sense of smell still working- like via his mouth- how is his sense of taste affected?
    I know i get almost claustrophobic when I can’t breath thru my nose or smell- but I read SO much about our body compensating and other senses working better when one is compromised- so now I am curious…

  139. You should put this guy in touch with the Grey Alien bosyproject guy from a couple of years back – he’d dig this kind of work.

    Always a pleasure, Mr Larratt.

    Sorry that I have to correct you, but it has to say “Ganz guter Witz” wich means “Quite nice joke” (quite true, I think), for those who don’t understand german!

  197. I figured “It’s BME, it’s probably true” but then the pictures kinda killed it. Pretty funny to read through though.

  201. even before i realized the date i was gonna call it as a fake, the pictures were badly photoshopped, as someone who actually is a graphic designer its not hard to tell.
    sorry to insult your photoshop skills shannon, i’v been using photoshop since i was 13!

  203. mariess – Seriously, I challenge you to photoshop off someone’s nose! It’s very hard to get right — I’ve been doing photo manipulation for a long time and am quite confident at it, and consider this particular one a bit beyond me given only an hour or two… If I was going to do it again, I’d use posed photos and prepped fake scars so that I could line things up right.

  225. If only I hadn’t read the raeliens interview first, I would have probably been fooled by this!

    Both of those interviews were very entertaining though, and I think the way he looks is actually pretty cool haha. When I saw the pictures it actually reminded me of the Joshua one, which I read a few weeks ago.

  239. but shannon, in this case, it would be “scherz” not “witz”. it means the same, but “scherz” is what you use when you’re talking about pranking people on april 1st.

    i’m disappointed 🙁

    can’t wait to see what you come up with next year!!

  263. Two things gave it away: extra-short interview, only 2 pictures. Nice joke anyway. This morning our tutor told us there will be no study leave during our IGCSEs. We almost had a heart attack on the spot. It took like a minute for someone to call April Fools.

  269. When you’ve got people who willingly have all their limbs cut off I don’t think someone removing their nose is that extreme anymore. It’s probably already happened. Weak april fools.

  271. Excuse my English, it is not my language..

    I think it’s all fake !! Living without nose is just impossible unless you keep two holes for breathing…

    Well this is what I thought about living with no dick ! Et pourtant…

    This April’s fool has a funny taste !

  279. I believed it until I read that he was fine having no nasal passage whatsoever. Mouth-breathing for your entire life seems a bit extreme, even for BMEzine. And plus, then he’d have to be holding his breath for the pictures posted. Ha ha.

  281. Why not also remove the mouth? Breathing sucks anyway!
    Honestly, I got a bit sick, although I am used too pretty much now. Now I feel better after I read the other comments…
    The alien look is nevertheless amazing, I wonder when someone will make it real.

  283. Ahem. To conclude the nostrils debate: I know a man who has no nose AND NO NOSTRILS. He’s a regular in the shop I work in. Instead he has a triangle of different-coloured skin that’s obviously been grafted there – it’s flat (I guess you can’t build a nose from nothing if it’s entirely destroyed).

    I don’t know the story behind it. He’s a biker though, so maybe was involved in some spectacular accident? Anyway, the point is, he has no nostrils, so there, y’all.

  301. haha, I forgot it was april fools but I really do love the way he looks with no nose. Looking at those pictures I don’t feel like it looks like his nose is “missing”, it suits him very well. I loved the interview too! Just wish it was true…

  333. So, I’m going to apologize right now. I’ve come into the conversation late and I didn’t take the time to read all 166 comments. But I have a question.

    How does food taste? I’m assuming he doesn’t have very much a sense of smell left, and isn’t much of taste dependent on smell?

  343. I was in shock when I read it because about a month or two ago I said to my friend that it wouldn’t surprise me that, with all the amputation movement going on, at some point someone would amputate their nose… You had me there!

  351. guys for next april fools, would you mind not posting “APRIL FOOLS LLOLOLOL!!1″ in the comments section.

    if you know it’s a joke, then you should try to keep it alive so that the less quick ones have more opportunities to ask questions and fall for it. fuck, go ahead and ask some good questions yourself, or make up stories about how you know the guy and he’s totally cool or whatever.

    but let’s try to keep the ‘april fools’ on the down low a little longer.

  355. damnit fooled again! I really should stop being so gullible surfing the net today.

  357. I’m not a regular on the site (and not modified), I just stumbled across it by accident 4 or 5 years ago. But ever since I read the arm transplant story, I make a point of visiting at least once a year. This is fabulous, and the comments make it even more fun.

  361. When I read the article I was not that surprise and I realize only after that this can be a April fools.
    I mean after see every day people play with genitals and made any possible body modification this not that strange.

    I would mind more to loose my penis or balls then my nose 🙂

  367. The first thing that crossed my mind when I saw the front page was that the black bar across the eyes was completely useless because anyone who saw him would know that was him, it’s not like there are many guys running around with no nose. Then I remembered the date, lol.

  375. I can’t wait for this to be passed around the internet. I’ve stumbled across the guy who had an arm attatched to himself more than once. Another april fools interview, i think.

  381. ^_^ Great joke! I love the April Fool’s interviews here.
    @183: Yeah, I’m waiting for this to show up somewhere else and be taken completely out of context.

  383. ohhh i totally fell for it.
    i wanted it to be true, it was so laid-back and ‘whatever’ rather than dire serious like the other extreme posts seem.

    only prank i’ve fallen for today, the most outrageous one!

  385. I once saw a documetary that showed a person who had his nose ( and a large chunk of face ) ripped off by a bear attack and another person who had bone cancer in the facial bones. it was very interesting. they were showing the amazing prosthetic faces that have been developed. I remember one of them had a plastic nose that clipped onto metal posts that were implanted into the remaining bone. amazingly when the person was wearing the prosthetic, it looked almost perfect, you could see a faint line where the prosthetic ended and skin began.

  403. Actually, this one was too easy. The name of the “interviewee” gave it away to me (loosely translated it means “the art of jokes”) even before reading it all. And we all should know that comic-book hero Obelix was responsible for the nose-less look of the sphinx 🙂

  419. it’s weird.. like the nose is a prominent figure on your face, it stands out. no matter what any one says, the nose is usually the first thing people notice about your face. and if you take it away… i dunno.

    but yeah was naseous yesterday, and i saw that pic today, and it made my stomach try crawling up my throat. no offense, but the scars gave me jitters on first impact/notice.

  431. Personally, the master touch was having him walk back into work after the mod. His nose is missing, and he only offers a vague excuse.

    “Dude! What happened to your nose?”
    “…I don’t want to talk about it”

    Fantastic!

  439. i know THIS article is fake….but the thing is, i’ve ALWAYS wanted this mod.
    ever since i was a kid i wanted to have no nose.
    i’ve always been able to “smell” evil, and i thought this may give me some peace.

  443. i picked the fake as soon as he said he just hocked up with a cold… hold your nose shut and try hocking… if it were shut, his canals would just fill… yummy!
    anyway, i think it looks cool. oneday someone will do it.
    nice work shannon

  449. Nice April Fool’s day joke.

    On a serious note though my ex’s sister had her nose removed due to cancer and until she got her fake nose it was really full on to see her. Her head was like a beach ball. Mind you, I never saw her without her bandages as apparently it was quite upsetting to see.

  457. I actually think the look is sexy- lizard like. I wonder if it would be possible to amputate the nose and what the effects would be -how sleeping, talking, eating would be effected, the physiological changes and how you would deal with colds. It would bother me not to be able to smell- what if gas was in your house or if you smelled really bad but couldn’t tell- smell food, candles, incense, skunks?? And what about eskimo kisses??

  461. I am SO gullible. I read the nose article and believed it. I read the twins article and believed it until I read the “responses” – then I read the other articles and STILL believed them. SO SO GULLIBLE.

  463. Goddamn it. I totally fell for it when I read it a few days ago not realizing the date. But then i read the part of “if you enjoyed this you might enjoy these” section and I remembered them as being past April Fools. Fuck. I was totally hoping to check out that procedure and have been checking BME video. Sweet bar-hopping christ. You got me.

  467. I guess that next year there will be an article about a blonde amputating her brain (because it’s such an useless feature). And I guess that there will still be readers asking if it’s for real.

    How could it be real? Everybody knows quite well that a blonde has NO brain at all.

  469. it took me until two days ago to find out this was an april fools joke. someone actually had to tell me. damn, well done.

  473. Haha. Apart from the little hints like the name and the last line of the interview and, of course, the date, the thing which totally convinced me straight away that this was a joke was the fact that when asked why he started considering the mod, he mentioned Bert and Ernie as influences. I mean, I know they rock, but really…

  475. This has to be the most convincing online April Fool’s I’ve ever seen. BMEzine has the added confusingness of- this site is full of people doing crazy things; if someone’s cut their penis in half, why can’t someone else get their nose cut off, you know? heh…

    But seriously though, imagine if someone had actually done this. They’d talk so weirdly for the rest of their life!!

  481. this really needs to be cleared up;

    is this, or isn’t this, an april fools article??

    if it’s not i gotta say i kinda like the look, although i have no idea whether or not it is as i am just about the most trusting person i know.

  483. Regardless if this is an april fools prank or not, this does remind me of the stories i’ve heard in school about the ancient egyptian nose cult. Apparently, there used to be a group of people who got the idea that all the evil within a person is contained within their noses. So they cut em off. Natually, they couldn’t have do with the evil nosed leaders of the day, so they started kidnapping political leaders and chopping off thier noses and people startedd paying attention- and killing all the noseless. The story goes that at this point, the cult decided that well, since they were aware of the evil in the nose, they decided it was best for thier lifespan to redirect the efforts to the afterlife. Ever see a wall of heiroglyphics or portraits, and wonder why all the little noses are chissled off? How could it be possiable for the arms and other extending parts of old statues to still be intact, but the nose is completely removed? It is even one of the theorys of why the Great Sphinx of Giza is noseless.

    Something to think about at least. “Its not my fault I killed millions, I have a nose!”

  493. Haha.. Long-standing “gotcha” for me, I guess.

    I didn’t realize that this was an April Fool’s joke until today, after reading the comments that referred to it from this year’s April Fool’s.

    What can I say? You constantly see people willingly amputate digits, hands, arms, legs, genitals, et cetera. This was very believable, aside from the images. I guess I attributed it to poor quality>.>
