Ah Myst, the good old days of it taking 40 minutes to find anything in a new area. However, It would be more Myst like if there was a random collection of things of which only a few were clickable, and you had to click on it perfectly or else it didn't count.
Completely off-topic, but do you have any build related links or anything? Seems like a pretty cool project that would make an interesting read on something like a tech oriented news aggregate website...I wonder where I could find something like that...? *hint hint*
Interesting thought, so I gave it a try. Google didn't like it, and gave me an error message about automated traffic. I'm guessing it was just way to huge of a search range.
No Joke, that seems odd. I always thought just the passing of bad checks(while knowing they were bad, with an intent to deceive) was illegal. Perhaps not.
You got awfully emotional about something that is completely hypothetical. My point wasn't so much centered around me, and how can you possibly say there wouldn't be anyone running around beating people up than there are now? I'm not talking about the average person abusing this, more the type of people that got picked on in high school constantly because they were smaller and are now a bit off. Yeah yeah, I know, but they could just grab a (insert random weapon here) but it is a lack of self-confidence that would prevent that from happening in a lot of cases. Remember that someone who has 20% LESS muscle mass than the average, after this could end up with 20% MORE, making them the big guy they've always wanted to be, and they have some revenge to enact.
I agree with you that for the most part, it would just be used to satisfy the vain, which arguably isn't really a big deal, I was just making a hypothetical point.
^ was modded as funny, but definitely should have been interesting. The water level of the dead sea has dropped considerably in recent years, mostly because the Jordan river is the only source of replenishment, and that has been reduced to a trickle from industrialization. In fact, the country of Jordan is building a pipeline of some sort to transport water from the red sea, desalinate some of it for drinking water, and then send the brine refuse to the dead sea to replenish it. Maybe not the most efficient or best way to do it, but they basically got sick of the rest of the international community doing nothing but talking about it, so they said screw it, they will do it themselves.
You joke, but your image of abuse is probably very real, depending on the availability. I mean, your always going to have people that will abuse it no matter what, but imagine if you would if this falls in line with other optional surgeries and procedures. Not happy with how you look? How about some gene therapy to fix your body image? Do we really need angry people suddenly developing 40% more muscle mass? People are assholes enough, but now there's no question they can beat the crap out of me if they get angry.
On the flip side, this sounds like it could work miracles for some with real problems.

Thank you for this, I almost died laughing.

Perhaps we could make each block bigger than the last?

I was thinking the exact same thing as I was reading the above comments.

Flamebait? I would have thought funny, guess the Mods are having a bad day.
