Not sure how popular she actually was, but there was a website/blog ran by a young woman who kept saying she wanted to amputate both her hands and replace them with #18 stainless steel hooks, or something to that effect.

Pastry of the Year posted:The first thing I thought of when you mentioned early internet and benign pranks is a site called cockeyed.com. I don't know if they pulled off the stunt you described, but it sounds like something they would do, and a trip to web.archive.org might solve the mystery. Bumping this because I remember a differernt prank guy, who I think eventually founded/was part of SparkNotes? The site might have been...SparkFun? He did weird pranks/projects like seeing how much weight two people could gain in a month (I think he was trying to see if they could gain 1 pound/day?) and the "Stinky Meat Project" where he literally just put meat in public places, like in a potted plant in the mall, or his neighbor's yard. But he also got weird/creepy, because if it is the same guy I'm thinking of, he "pranked" his sister by putting a webcam in her living room ceiling light. Not cool.
