I am working in an anatomical dissection lab this summer, and today I have to disarticulate a cadaver's arms so that flipping my fellow from supine to prone isn't such a lengthy and splashy affair. Every so often, I have a masochistic urge to google the strange things I'm researching, to see what the intarwebs has to contribute. "Tiny baby penises" when researching microphalluses, for example...after that one I was waiting for the FBI to show up. With safe search off it's like playing chicken with a huge and offensively decorated semi. And today, with great trepidation, I typed in "how to disarticulate an arm." There were no results. I can rest assured that there isn't a serial killer wiki out there, at least not one with proper medical terminology. Phew.
Good job, this post is now the second result for query "how to disarticulate cadaver arm".

I read your comment while I was in lab and my helpful classmates immediately found several sites/videos (yes, videos) on "how to ampute an arm"...so I guess I'm not famous after all. ;-P
