Team Leader Gets Experimental Run Camp ImplantOrganizers face new hurdles in their attempt to fit all Run Campers with dental implants that provide mile-marker information by a Global Positioning System from the Borgess satellite. A small band of first-time campers, when they found out about the intent of organizers to equip campers with the dental implants, filed a grievance with the Michigan Civil Rights Commission.
"We put the system on hold for now," said Operation Implant Mastermind Kristi Buckham, "but our concerns don't stop there. First, we believe there may have been a 'leak' about the system from one of our Team Leaders in whom we put a prototype implant. Moreover, if campers won't let us do this, what chance do we have with our Camper Hypnosis Program, which we were going to roll out in Portage?"
Organizers had planned to announce to campers to arrive at 4:30 next Saturday morning to meet with the Camp Dentist and get the implants. With the implant, at each mile marker, campers would involuntarily say the distance they had traveled.

Well, I'll take the implant if it can correctly position the 3-Mile marker instead of having to guess. Just as long as it's not a prototype and I can play MP3's on it while scheduling my oil change on it.
The prototype is iPod-compatible, but doesn't link with other MP-3 players, and sadly, Uncle Ed's -- when we approached them as an Implant Gold Filling Sponsor -- managed to launch an industry-wide boycott of our implants, so you should schedule your oil changes independently, even if you receive the implant.
Also, the missing 3-mile marker was a "camper test".
