That's not Synthol, this guy just masturbates a lot.

EDIT: Serious answer: He has Klippel–Trénaunay syndrome and is an Arm Wrestler.

I forget his name but if memory serves that guy's arm is actually kind of defect that makes that arm way bigger than the other.

So he turned it into an advantage by becoming a competitive arm wrestler. Apparently his freakishly huge arm gives him a big advantage in his weight class.

On Thursday, the rocket company Rocket Lab announced that it had secretly launched the Humanity Star, a satellite in the shape of a reflective sphere that effectively works as a disco ball and could at times become the brightest object in the night sky.

Just after Rocket Lab announced the surprise launch of the satellite, many astronomers tweeted their annoyance that the New Zealand-based company would build and launch this bright object.

I am extremely outraged that things go into space. We don't have enough things to begin with, and we just launch them willy-nilly in every direction. Why not pull things from space to Earth? Wouldn't it be better to have more things here?

The detail is incredible, yes. This is a fabulous piece of statuary, where the look of soft flesh is reproduced in hard stone. It speaks of great skill and artistry. It's amazing.

It's also god-on-god rape. Oh, classic mythology.

Fun fact (with no evidence whatsoever) time!

Medusa, the monster, came about because she was raped by Poseidon, so Athena thought the appropriate action was to to turn the most beautiful woman in the world into said monster. But the brave, heroic Perseus crept up on her whilst she was asleep and took off her head. That'll learn her.

If you are so beautiful that Gods cannot help but rape you, you should become utterly horrifying (petrifying, maybe) and then decapitated. I'm not sure why this isn't taught in self-defence classes.

Tho' as a benefit, your spilled blood will become a flying horse and a giant - always useful.

Don't forget Stheno and Euryale. If you're the sister of the most beautiful woman in the world who is being punished for being raped by Poseidon, then you're also getting turned into a horrible monster, but you're immortal and your sister isn't.

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.
Arachnea was so good at weaving that she said she could beat the Gods themselves. Athena was like "nuh-uh" and she was like "uh uh" so they had a weaving duel, and she did beat the Goddess so she was like "Well if you're so good at weaving then how about you weave for the rest of your life?" :smug: and turned her into a spider.

The good thing about Greco-Roman religion is that it didn't really suffer from the "problem of evil."

Didn't she weave a tapestry making GBS threads on the gods for all their, you know, poo poo like this or Zeus raping people and the like?

That was also undeniably better than Athena's thing, of course.
