    I'd recommend Enzyte if you're a male. I see their commercials on late-night ESPN all the time and they talk about "increase your size by 25%."

    Limb-lengthening, it's real.

    "We have been able to lengthen achondroplastic dwarf patients 12 inches in the legs and five inches in the arms."

    :eek:

    Awesome. If I was rich I'd totally do it...

    I've heard of it from a friend. I don't know if he has 'used fictional movie references'. But he swore he didnt make it up.

    The FDA decided to allow people to use growth hormone for cosmetic purposes recently. I heard an NPR story at the time that was downright frightening. Here's an article/editorial (that I find foolish, but it gives you an idea): http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/11.11/view.html?pg=2?tw=wn_tophead_6

    It was kind of scary cause when I was in high school I was really skinny - 6'2 135. Now I'm 21 and more normal - 6'3 168. And I've put on a lot more muscle. There was a dude I knew sophomore year who was 6'11 -- and white. That was pretty freaky. He played basketball freshman year but he was horribly uncoordinated. He just couldn't seem to get any dates when he quit. :)

    I am 9'1" and 293 years old. I hit my growth spurt when I was 121 years old. I credit my longevity and height to smoking cigarettes, drinking 100 proof Southern Comfort, and spanking monkeys.

    Just have patience grasshopper, you will grow.

    Well, factoring in the Crohn's factor...

    85 ---> 120

    Last year this same time I was 90 pounds. Within a month of recouperating after my 11-day long hospital stay for a resection in February of this year, I gained 17 pounds.

    I'm just now gaining more. I was always waaaaaaaaay below the curve. Once, I was a perfect square (49 lbs, 49 inches). When I went to Montreal and New York the summer before last, I gained 7 pounds in 10 days -- and that was when I was quite ill and in serious pain from the Crohn's.

    The food in NY is seriously my top reason for going (applying) to college there.
