Something from GWH I'm kinda interested in is "who created Stats?"

Someone HAD to have surgically removed it, because the stump still has scars from sutures or surgical staples. It would have been impossible for Wilt to have not only cut it off, successfully tied off arteries, veins, lymph nodes, etc., AND sewed the stump up, using only one hand, and no pain killer. He might be tough, but I don't think he's THAT tough or has that much medical knowledge! Like I've said before, it's a common practice after performing a limb amputation for surgeons to take muscle from some other part of the body(especially if the muscle from the affected limb was badly damaged) and use it to create a padding over the remaining bone in the amputated limb. This speeds healing because it keeps the bone end from rubbing against the skin that is pulled over the end of the stump and it also makes fitting and adjusting a prosthesis easier later on down the road. Muscle is usually taken from someplace where it's not needed as much for locomotion; in humans, that's usually from the thigh or gluteus maximus, but in Wilt's case, he has those facial lobes which are probably just muscle tissue.
