"Somewhere in Germany is a baby Superman, born in Berlin with bulging arm and leg muscles. Not yet 5, he can hold 7-pound weights with arms extended, something many adults cannot do. He has muscles twice the size of other children his age and half their body fat. DNA testing showed why: The boy has a genetic mutation that boosts muscle growth. The discovery, reported in today's New England Journal of Medicine, has given researchers knowledge that could lead to breakthrough therapies for muscular dystrophy and other diseases, perhaps even for diabetes and obesity. The potential treatments, involving myostatin, a protein that controls muscle growth, also could have a dark side, giving athletes another illicit chemical means to boost their performance. The boy's body produces no myostatin. Researchers knew that the protein regulates muscle in animals, but this was the first time it has been shown to affect humans. The study raises hopes that myostatin-blocking treatments could encourage muscle growth...." http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2001963965_muscleboy24.html[^] Later, JoeSox "Words without actions are the assassins of idealism." -- Herbert Hoover joeswammi.com ↔ humanaiproject.org ↔ joeswammi.com/sinfest

Holy Crap! His legs already show definition and muscularity and he's only 5?!? $20 says he ends up in a body-building career. OT: The only thing that upsets me is that you'd think they'd at least put some shorts on the little fella before they took his picture. Jeremy Falcon

Besides, I can't think of the first reason why they'd need to show the kid naked anyway; I don't need to see his tush to notice the development of his legs. Jeremy Falcon

esp. in east germany, and around larger towns, it's fairly common to see small kids walking arund nekkid. Yes it's naked. naked naked naked naked. Nothing evil about that.

Jeremy Falcon wrote: but my culture has taught me to believe something And I would ever respect that when visiting your place. I just assume that the picture was taken in Germany (where the bys nudity is usually not an issue), and your news source de gusto simply took the image without thinking much about it. And putting a black bar over certain parts of it would've been very weird (at least for me).

sighist || Agile Programming | doxygenThe sociallly accepted limit here is about pre school age 4, at my guess. But the Europe, America social difference thing is massive IMHO. Here often we think Americans are similar socially because we speak the same basic language, but it's far from the truth. I think we are way more similar to Europe than the USA. OFten things like the Janet Jackson, or Bill Clinton controversities really drive the point home. Regardz Colin J Davies

Jeremy Falcon wrote: my culture has taught me to believe something way different when it comes to nudity This confuses me. You were born naked! You did not come into this world fully clothed. If you did then you are abnormal. This attitude reminds me of the first time I went to the USA. We went to visit my aunt (who had married an American) and after a long flight, then a four hour drive my dad was delighted to find out my aunt had a large swimming pool (for a private pool in their garden, it was maybe 10 to 15 metres in length) and went to change into his swimming trunks. Well, his Speedos aparently didn't play well and my aunt hissed at him to wear something more appropriate. By American standards he didn't have anything more appropriate.

That's shocking. I hope it doesn't affect his health as an adult ! "I believe I referred to her personality as a potential science exhibit." - Elaine, about Ellen, in "The Dog"

That's exactly what I was afraid of. Hope they can find some way of arresting this condition instead of revelling in it.. "I believe I referred to her personality as a potential science exhibit." - Elaine, about Ellen, in "The Dog"

Like most cases of this kind, he will almost certainly have major health problems because of his abnormal development :( Elaine :rose: The tigress is here :-D
