You know, on a related note the ancient Olympic events were performed naked. Personally, I couldn't think of a better way to boost ratings.

Fuck Niger.

Russia, too. Must be easy to win all the ice skating medals when you're trained from birth.

And China for the gymnastics stuff, Kenya for running, and EVERYONE for thinking that curling is major event material.

Not really, but Russia still stands.

Fuck Niger.

Kenyans, actually.

It's more fun to say fuck Niger, though.

Yeah, I had a feeling that's what you were going for.

Bioluddites.

We delay a transhumanism utopia free of disease, aging, poverty and involuntary death if we keep making a big stink every time we augment the human body.

Well, the thread kinda ran away from me, but no. The silly thing is that you can run faster with your legs cut off. Anytime I see this story, all details are lost and I come upon that one idea.

Yeah, yeah, prosthetics and such. But still >.>;
