Found it. Not sure why it's formatted the way it is, but regardless, here it is:

You could transplant my husband's brain into a spider and I'd love him! I wish you could do that. (He's dead).

Ah, The Daily Mail. Isn't that basically the British equivalent of The National Enquirer or The Weekly World News -- i.e., not to be trusted for facts? Might as well cite The Onion. I'm not buying it.

I don't think you're old enough to remember The Beverly Hillbillies TV show, but one of my favorite episodes was the one where Granny was going to do a head transplant between Mr. Drysdale and a chimp. The impossibility of it is what makes it so funny.
