A new ointment containing diltiazem--a drug used to treat chest pain and high blood pressure--effectively relieves anal fissures, small tears in the lining of the anus that can cause pain, bleeding and itching.

I wonder if it can do anything about micromanaging bosses?

Free Boobies Make Women Soldiers Happy - Men Ain't So Upset Either

The Army has paid for a handful of female soldiers to have breast enlargements to make them happier, the Ministry of Defence has said.
A spokesman said that four women had received breast-enhancing surgery at one military hospital since the start of last year, and the total number is likely to be higher.

A California Appeals Court has upheld a jury's decision to give a woman $1.08 million because a doctor surgically enlarged her breasts without her permission, but the woman has decided against getting the operation reversed because she no longer trusts doctors.

Woman Killed By Amateur Boob-Job

Two factors drew 36-year-old Thi Hanh Lan Tran to an unlikely surgical facility at the back of a dingy downtown Toronto rooming house last month: The price for the operations was about 30 per cent lower than at an accredited clinic, and the so-called surgeon spoke Ms. Tran's native tongue, Vietnamese.

Yesterday, Toronto Police Detective Alan MacDonald observed that several women who attended Ms. Tran's funeral in March had visible scars from recent plastic surgery on their faces. Police suspect that, like Ms. Tran, many of those women had been patients of Minh Tam Thi Le, 36, who came to Canada last October on a student visa to study hairdressing.

Mime Becomes Spokesman

Marcel Marceau, known around the world for his silent portrayal of a sad white-faced clown with a tall, battered hat, was chosen by the United Nations (news - web sites) Wednesday as a spokesman for the older generation.
For world peace - we finally found a scapegoat we could all agree on.

Sissy Gets Beaten By Creed Lead Singer

Creed singer Scott Stapp allegedly threw punches at a clubgoer who heckled him on Sunday (April 22) night at a St. Augustine, Florida nightclub. According to published reports, the man egged Stapp on, saying, "You should've stuck with Pearl Jam." The agitated vocalist then reportedly yelled back, "You want to disrespect me?" to which the patron replied, "You're not a superstar." It was then, reports say, that Stapp hit the man, giving him a bloody lip and black eye.

He, sounds like Scott Stapp is a tad insecure...he ought to be...

When I first saw that Creed was in the subject line, I was hoping it would be something like, "The entire band dies when their tour bus crashes off a bridge" or some such. But this is almost as amusing.

(Yep, still just a little bit bitter over their "homage" to the Doors...)

Well, in all honesty, I rather enjoy the music... but Mr. Stapp has some real 'issues' cartainly...

Oh don't misunderstand me, its not their music that makes me despise them so much (unlike some people I'm willing to admit that people have different tastes and all that), its their audacity against Mr. Morrison. There's a clear difference between a "homage," which is where an artist takes their own interpretation of a song (Tori Amos does it, and does it very well), and ripping off a classic song just to milk money off of it. Creed did the latter, unfortunately.

ah...I missed that. (fortunately so, it seems)

I agree, what you say sounds quite vulgar!

Wait... what makes you qualified to judge their motives?

Or did they actually say they were just milking it?

Its the fact that Creed, rather than making their own original interpretation of the song, just aped Morrison, and also that the song was hyped to a large degree (at least on my local station), while other homages I've heard from a few other artists just took a backseat to their original work.

Now, I'll be the first to admit I'm an elitist bastard (I'm an English major after all, and that makes me "qualified" to judge everything that has to do with culture ;) ), and that my personal opinion of Creed is probably making me biased against them, but I'm sorry...from what I've heard and read, Creed doesn't seem like the type of band to consider such things as "artistic integrity."

Breasts Enlarged to 40DD -- Without Permission

I dont think this story is true.

The thing is... most men don't have any idea how the hell bra sizes work... the number is the measurement in inches around your ribcage. If she went under with a ribcage the size of a 34 and woke up with a ribcage of a 40, then he'd of had to have enlarged more than just her breasts.

The actual difference in size between a 34B and a 40DD is fucking HUGE. 34B is like... uh... lime size? 40DD is like... hanging down to your navel. Granted, people who buy a 40DD are very large women.

I worked as a stripper for a while, and I know they have to fill your breasts with cc's of liquid in a gradual sense so as not to stretch the skin beyond all belief, not to mention your muscles...

My story:
I personally had a breast reduction, and I went from somewhere around 34DDD (approx) to a 34D. He took off 10 lbs of tissue. As they've settled and I gained a bit of weight, they've grown to a 34DD...

on a final note... I'm having trouble imagining someone wanting to fix a saggy 34B. I mean, they aren't that big, so if they were to be fixed, I'm guessing she'd end up like... a very flat A. Like someone mentioned in the discussion on yahoo, they'd have to look like pancakes with a nipple at the bottom.

Sorry if this seems like a rant, but I think some education needs to happen...
