I knew this day would come. It was only a matter of time before someone figured out how to bulk up w/o requiring years of dedication and that day has finally arrived. This group talks about altering a gene called follistatin and creating an awesomely built animal with obligatory ridiculous real life picture depicted on the right.

Obviously, this is funny and bound to be abused by normal humans obsessed with superficiality, athletes obsessed with pushing the bar, or Russian boxers bent on beating the tar out of Sylvester Stallone. However, there is a possibly legitimate use for this gene in the form of neuromuscular diseases like muscular dystrophies. In fact, there's even mention of a baby born (named Liam Hoekstra)  with a defect in his myostatin gene and he's a young hulk punchng through dry wall in his temper tantrums. One can only imagine the therapeutic potential of this medication for patients young and old, and one can totally predict athletes dumping the Epo once this stuff clears the first set of trials and gets the FDA blessing.
