Fucking hideous.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

seriously. this screams typography gimmick to me. and it is hard to navigate - in my mind, death on the web. don't even talk to me about the full justification - that's a print designer thing. just wanted to see what other people thought.
I'm not a typography expert, but it makes me want to hurt the web designer.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Boss fires staff for not smoking
BERLIN (Reuters) - The owner of a small German computer company has fired three non-smoking workers because they were threatening to disturb the peace after they requested a smoke-free environment.
The manager of the 10-person IT company in Buesum, named Thomas J., told the Hamburger Morgenpost newspaper he had fired the trio because their non-smoking was causing disruptions.
...
"I can't be bothered with trouble-makers," Thomas was quoted saying. "We're on the phone all the time and it's just easier to work while smoking. Everyone picks on smokers these days. It's time for revenge. I'm only going to hire smokers from now on."

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Well, HGH doesn't have any major side effects, that I know of.
I was thinking steroids specifically.
I'm not sure, really, why Human Growth Hormone should be banned. There are some people (quite possibly screw balls, I'll grant) who think it's use should be more widespread.
I know I'd love to have a doctor seriously push for it for Mom's insurance to cover it.
I had one friend friend with AIDS benefit greatly from it in the course of a study. Because he was terminal and benefitting so greatly they went ahead and doesed him longer and at higher levels than anybody else at that time. At a certain point it lost the "magic" and we eventually did lose him, but it never hurt him at all.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Wow, Sox, that website looks exactly like someone took a print document and stuck it on-line (which I see happen all the time around here).
I am ready to kill people who do not understand the difference between 'reimbursement' and 'waiver'. Seriously, the 5,000 people who don't want to pay me upfront because they "qualify for reimbursement" are going to be dead soon.

I thought it led to enlarged heart and excess bone growth, but I may be mistaken. Also elite athletes tend to take steroids, etc, at levels that FAR exceed therapeutic doses.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
HGH causes acromegaly with associated risks to the organs (heart, aneurysms), but it takes years of high dosage via pituitary tumor.

Oh yes. Which is part of why I can't imagine them NOT feeling it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The guys I know who took steroids certainly knew it. And you can tell it by looking at them even now. It's your body. When you're an elite athlete it's your delicate instrument. You gotta know.
