Nothing new to me. My 'uber-gothic' friend has done it, with hooks on a clothes hanger. Don't know why, guess he is just dieing for attention.

My first reaction to the military story was "Sweet! I can get my LASIX surgery for free". But then I realizes that even if they could do it, I don't want military doctors anywhere near my eyes. They'd probably make me blind.

I've witnessed a few suspensions (meat-hook thing) here at a local tattoo parlor. It was actually amazing, the people were meditating while suspended.

As for the military thing, I'm fine with it, it gives surgeons subjects to practice their plastic surgery skills on for disfigured soldiers.

I think the hanging-from-hooks thing has some Hindu importance. I've seen it been done in some religious festivals in India, I assume it is Hinduism.

I think it's terrible that tax payers are paying for recreational surgery. Yes, if a soldier gets his face blown off and he needs plastic surgery to put it back on again, then sure, but breast enlargement? Perhaps they could be used as weapons, or is it a replacement for a bullet-proof vest? The point of paying tax generally is that you're paying for something that society benefits from, and I don't see how society benefits from soldiers with huge breasts.

Isn't it obvious? When our country goes to war, our women soldiers will quickly arouse the enemy, and they won't be able to fight!

Duh!

Something like that was on Ripley's Believe It Or Not, guy suspended himself with hooks from a helicopter and took a ride so he could "feel like he was flying" or some bullcrap.

It didn't say the soldiers were getting the breast augmentations, the article said soldiers and dependents were receiving the surgeries. Soldier + more-attractive wife = mass production of future soldiers.

I've seen a guy do that on Ripley's Believe It or Not.

He had 6 hooks in him which were attached to a harness which was attached to a helicoptor.


Then he flew over Hollywood by 6 hooks.

It was kinda cool besides the fact that he had hooks in his back.

*Edit*: I just noticed JudgeDredd's post.

No he put the hooks through his back, upper shoulder, like 12 gauge hooks, something like that. I saw the video. I can link to it if any of you would like to be freaked out [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]

Link me. Also, it takes at least an 8g hook to suspend someone, anything smaller wouldn't catch enough skin, and would rip through.

If done properly, you won't lose that much blood. The process creates a massive adrenaline rush; it keeps them very awake, and very well.

I haven't heard of any eye surgeries going bad lately. I've noticed alot of soldiers getting them, too. I'm indifferent with respect to cosmetic surgeries. I don't have a huge problem with tax dollars going towards them either. Our tax dollars are subject to far more abuse than these few surgeries.
