ParticipantHopefully someone saved them to their harddrive and can send them back to you. ^__^

ParticipantAnd 50 years ago we were told we'd be living on the moon by now.
These documentaries always make it sound like the future is an easily predicted certainty. Societies change and certain things become less important; the Cold War ended and the space race died with it, and computers (whom futurists thought in the 60s wouldn't progress nearly as much as they have) flourished.
The 'gene', the myostatin gene, ALREADY has appeared in a mutated form in people: Flex Wheeler had it. And he took steroids, trained like every other olympian bodybuilder, and while he looked amazing and grew really quickly, he's not some mega-freak. We've already had people 8 or 9 feet tall, due to the condition of acromelagy. And these people do not last long and have terrible health problems.
It irks me because these 'science documentaries' seem to do fuck all research. They just go, "Hey, dude, conceivably, could you make the Hulk?" "It's POSSIBLE – in theory." "TONIGHT: THE HULK WILL BE REAL IN FIFTY YEARS!"
Instead of doing a proper job of discussing the issues arising, they go for a quick, sensationalist, hack approach of just picking the scariest and/or sexiest thing technology could do in theory, and say it is an inevitable certainty. Irks me.

ParticipantAwesome. Thanks, man!

Participant… I'm confuzzled. I can't see the original pic. Is it linked in this thread somewhere?
Fett
ParticipantIt sucks that DA took it down. X(
only her face is original. the background is some random googled pic, and the Full body is Kristy Hawkins'.
I assumed as much. But the original would be a handy reference. You got a link to it? :/
Fett
ParticipantPretty cool man! Any chance you can send me the original Garner pic, please? I like the facial expression and could do with the original image. 🙂
Fett
ParticipantI love that last picture. *sigh*
Fett
ParticipantHuh.
Well… at least Mack has good taste.

Participant"I wish *I* were disabled"… is a Homer Simpson quote. :-
