You call it a drug, I call it the perfect air freshiner!
I read this article and it was worth sharing. In a nutshell they are talking about a drug now known as PT-141 or Bremelanotide. What does it do? Think Viagra, only this works on women too, and to put the cherry on top it is a nasal spray. Where Viagra increases blood flow to "down there", PT-141 goes into your brain and puts you "in the mood".
Think of every party you have ever gone to. Think of the parties where you had the most fun. Were you "in the mood" at the time (reguardless of wether or not you scored)? Probably. All I can think of this being the next hot thing on the streets. Victoria Secrets fills their air with a smell that makes you want to buy underwear. Krispy Kreme fills the air with a smell that makes you want to eat donuts until dawn. Night clubs could fill the air with a drug that makes you want to have a VERY good time.
Gone are the days of date rape drugs my friends, enter the new age. Did you have sex with this woman? Yes officer, I did! Did you have sex with her against her will? No officer, we were both VERY willing. Case closed.
I can't decide if I want to buy stock or run screaming in a panic.
Based on the disapproving looks my wife gives me whenever I bring this up, I am guessing stock is completely out of the question. I suppose I can dream....

Woody,
DREAM?? This could be your worse NIGHTMARE!!!!!
According to the article written about PT-141---
"The full range of possible risks and side effects has yet to be determined."
Highly probable side effects could inculde; the establishment of a commune of PT-141 users/abusers; or, that you would be mailing Sarah a large alimony check every month, ad infinitum.
What if a side effect of PT-141 is determinded to be the development of secondary sex characteristics??? Ex. many male body-builders experienced physical feminizing effects after abusing steroids, not to mention the possible effect on MALE FENCERS!!! Your next purchase of fencing equipment could be a ladies chest protector!!!!!

I already have a product that makes me ready and willing - I think the technical name is "Champagne." But hey, buy stock! If people are already willing to pay hundreds for ground up rhino horn, I think this might be a seller.
Male body builders have boobs? How? Female body builders don't have boobs (that's kinda what having a 2% instead of a 15% fat does to ya) - well, they got little ones.

How????
The National Institute on Drug Abuse, in an article about the abuse of steroids, reports that:
"In boys and men, reduced sperm production, shrinking of the testicles, impotence, difficulty or pain in urinating, baldness, and irreversible breast enlargement (gynecomastia).
In girls and women, development of more masculine characteristics, such as decreased body fat and breast size, deepening of the voice, excessive growth of body hair, and loss of scalp hair..."
I have had breasts for years, but Woody might find having breasts of his own to be problematic!!!!

Henri, I've spent the last six years being 340lbs. I was 200lbs in the 5th grade. There has never been a time when I would have been in the "green" on the bmi chart. My relatives teased me about needing a bra since I was in the first grade. Fortunatly I didn't get much teasing from my classmates because I was put into braces in the 2nd grade and kept them til high school.
One would think I would have spent all of these years stairing in rapt wonder at my own reflection in the mirror, but so far it hasn't happened. Ok, there was that first couple of weeks after I shaved, but I wasn't checking out the round bits.
I had a point, but for the life of me I forgot what it was. Can you believe that there are people around here who tell me having a mirror on my desk is a bad idea???

Woody,
It's obvious to me that your co-workers must be a group of idiots!! Your mirror should have a prominent place on your desk!!!!!
