So now is a perfect time to prepare, by shoving disc-shaped silicone implants under your skin to look like a half-octopus mutant. A post-human fashion statement is just a short trip to Sao Paulo, Brazil away. Save up your dough and visit Dark Freak at the Luck All bodymod parlor, and you'll be looking like a half-breed sushi victim in no time at all. Although it's best not to think too much about what keeps them from sliming around under the skin. That's when the real seasickness starts. [Ectoplasmosis]

Washboard abs, previously available only through a diet of one grape a day plus forty billion situps at night, are now available through convenient day surgery. However, you have to be in fairly good shape already in order to get this, which makes us wonder if it's all worth it. When we want our body modification, we want it now.

Plus, there's the whole cost issue. 4k to 7k, or this for a mere $20.71? Or you could pick up a Sharpie for about $1.50 and just draw the lines on yourself. Either way, you do the math.

If men start going through with this upgrade, you have to wonder... will women start checking out the gut and asking their friends, "Hey, see that hottie the bar? Think they're fake?"

Only time will tell.
