  1. Re:all those in favor say..... on Eye Transplant Enables Blind Boy to See · · Score: 0

    There have been instances of those who have never heard before hearing due to surgery/implants/etc. Yeah, your nerves would not be used to it at first, but there definitely would be a "sensation", which, for lack of a better definition, would be "seeing" or "hearing". So, he may not see what he "should" see, but hes no doubt seeing "something".

    I remember reading a story about the law of averages breaking down... everyone decided to go to a ball game at the same exact time, everyone decided to shop at the same time, cause they figured no one would be shopping then, etc. If anyone knows what I'm talking about, please, give me the source, I can't stand knowing this story without knowing what it is called.

  17. I've seen the Institute. on Scientist Sees Space Elevator in 15 Years · · Score: 0

    I live very close to Fairmont, and have passed the Institute many times during its construction. Nothing ever really happens in WV, so its refreshing that a good idea for space exploration is coming out of this so-called "hick, backwards" state. Anyway, back to the point. I am applying for a job there after my masters is completed here at WVU, or where ever I end up. Not sure if there's a need for Math degrees, but hey, I can try, right?

    Here is a link to photos of the construction.

  23. Re:Your muscle mass is limited by your hormones. on Mutation Creates SuperKid · · Score: 0

    I'm not saying its not possible to have a large amount of muscle mass with out steriods, its just that their is a natural upper limit. And in respect with John Grimek vs the new modern bodybuilders, I wouldnt' say pipsqueak, I'd say "streamlined" vs. "bloated. Some of these guys look like they are about to explode with water. I think it kinda funny that there is a group of men who say they epitomize everything masculine, and then they shave, oil themselves, comment on each others "glutes" and "pecs", crash diet, etc. Actually, I think its fucking hilarious. Oh well. Anyway, I think we need travelling strongmen back, and make bodybuilders in today's competitions do feats of strength. Or stop with this so called "sport".

    Ok, I made an error, I should have said a year. But 6 months is pretty much the time most people need for really noticeable changes.

  25. Indescriminate amount of muscle mass != healthy. on Mutation Creates SuperKid · · Score: 0

    Sure, packing on a few (15-20) pounds of healthy muscle isn't a bad thing, but you don't need myostatin inhibitors to do the job. Proper training, proper diet, 6 months, and hard work are all anyone really needs. Continuously adding muscle is a quick way to heart trouble. Even if you could safely add "a lot" of muscle, you would have to jack your hormones (steriods, HGH) to maintain it. Not worth it in the long run.
