As previously established, any limb that provides locomotion may be considered a "leg," whether it be a standard leg, a wing, or a wheel. Limbs that are solely for manipulation -- hands -- do not count as legs and therefore do not count toward the acceptable number of legs.

The jury is out regarding the how centaurs fit into this political paradigm.

In those days the amount of...ah, let's just say...chemical enhancement of body builders just didn't exist. If they used steroids they didn't use much.

Here’s the autopsy report from a 90s bodybuilder

quote:

Some of the specific autopsy findings were an extremely muscular physique with an almost complete absence of subcutaneous fat, a liver that contained numerous table tennis ball-sized tumors (with half the liver consisting simply of a crumbly mass that was similar to polystyrene), shriveled testes, and cardiac hypertrophy (Münzer's heart weighed 636g; a normal man's heart usually weighs 300–350g).[3]

Yup. Not only are they filling themselves with steroids they're filling themselves with any insane chemical that looks like it might possibly maybe have some benefit sometimes. And synthol. Holy gently caress the synthol.

From what I've heard decades ago basically everybody used steroids in body building but the doses were pretty low. Nobody was injecting it directly into specific muscles or taking "will literally kill you before 40" amounts. It was low oral doses. But of course there were those that just had to be bigger so they upped their doses. Then other drugs started slithering their way in. Several decades of "well, just 5% more this year...that's it, just 5%" led to...well some of the madness we see today.

Synthol's pretty crazy because actual professional bodybuilders* use tiny, sub-mL amounts of it to just pad out little bits of muscle that aren't perfectly symmetrical or to smooth over scar tissue sections if they've had an injury. So that turns into "body builders use synthol" which then becomes "I should use synthol to look like a body builder" and then you get extreme cases where people literally have oil leaking out of their bodies and nerve damage from inflating themselves like carnival balloons.
