63. By the way ...
Edited on Tue Aug-26-03 07:26 PM by Kat 333
Your comment "(And further, you can win a lawsuit without being right. Tobacco, Breast implants both being good examples, not that either particularly hurt my feelings.)"

Seems rather odd for a man of science (of the medical sort or otherwise)

NOT all women who had breast implants, and later found that the side effects were devastating, were doing so in order to wave big tits in front of the likes of all males.

Women who had to have their breasts removed (both single and double mastectomies) were in fact URGED to undergo breast implants. Their insurance even paid for it ... Imagine that.
