Behold my attempt at clever blogging.
Okay. Two things have been brought to my attention today that I wanted to talk about but I didn't want to write two blogs. With a little bit of thought I've found how to connect them.
The first topic is plastic surgery. I was listening to CBC radio and they were doing a comedic debate about plastic surgery. The "for" debater opened with, "The only people really against plastic surgery are the naturally good looking who don't need it or the really ugly who can't afford it." I started to think. I don't disagree with plastic surgery. If only because it's not all frivolous. I've known people who have been in bad accidents who needed to restore their features or because of severe birth defects. You know like being born with only a partial face for instance. I don't even care if people make themselves look like complete freaks. Why? Because we're a "tool" using species who use technology to our advantage. You want to make yourself better looking (or at least what you think is better looking) that's fine. In my opinion it is no less moral than push up or padded bras, make up, hair dye, wigs, false eyelashes, high heel shoes, lifts, structured clothing and so on and so forth.
So altering your appearance to impress others is done all the time. So that can't be used against plastic surgery. Now unlike those other things plastic surgery is surgery and can go very wrong and leave you worse off than before *shudder* It also suffers from the consequences of any surgery such as infection and the not so often spoken about anasthesia shock where you die because of the anasthesia. Also most plastic surgery is essentially permanent so you have to decide if it's what you want to look like.
And so speaking of cosmetic oddities I go on to the next topic wich is the rougarou also written roux-ga-roux, rugaroo or rugaru. A form of French were-wolf (loup garou) but it seems to be a person who turns into a wolf or dog? that appearantly has horse like legs and can run at least by one account up to 50 mph for up to 2 miles. I want to add a weird fact here while loup is French for wolf a loup garou can be any animal. I read a story about a loupgarou that turned into a cow instead of a wolf.
So once a gain this was clever because I used the theme "cosmetic oddities" to tie them together.
