Ear stretching and other body mods

[Death Pony]

Personally, I don't need to do any body mods to stand out, I'm already a biological freak; resting body temp of 94 degrees F, thumbs jointed at the center of the tarsal, jaw dislocates, skin turns blue and/or purple during fall and winter, and an outward curving ribcage.

Two people die every hour through drug-related causes, which equals 19,000 deaths a year. 100,000 people die a year due to alcohol related incidents. There are over 425,000 tobacco-related deaths each year, rounding out to about 20% of all deaths in America per year. Drug and alcohol rehab and abuse cause the government roughly $246 billion a year.

Clearly I do it out of sheer faith.

Q: How many adults age 20 and older are overweight or obese (BMI > 25)?

A: About two-thirds of U.S. adults are overweight or obese.

Q: What is the cost of overweight and obesity?

A: Total Cost: $117 billion
Direct Cost: $61 billion*
Indirect Cost: $56 billion

Q: What is the mortality rate associated with obesity?

A: Most studies show an increase in mortality rates associated with obesity. Individuals who are obese have a 10- to 50-percent increased risk of death from all causes, compared with healthy weight individuals (BMI 18.5 to 24.9). Most of the increased risk is due to cardiovascular causes. Obesity is associated with about 112,000 excess deaths per year in the U.S. population relative to healthy weight individuals.

Bet you still eat McDonalds though right?

No disrespect meant by any of this. Just banter. Guess it just really depends on what choices you make in life and how they affect you personally.

To each his own, who are you to decide what he does to himself? I mean I do think it looks tacky as well, but I'm sure he could care less about criticizing your polo shirts and gel'd hair..
