The surgeon breaks the patients' thigh bones and inserts nails that are extended with a magnetic remote control every day for three months, GQ said.

Sweet man-made horrors beyond my comprehension.

    I’m a legit 6’1/185cm barefoot, and I can look people straight in the eyes that claim they’re 6’4/193cm. It’s ridiculous lol.

    Damn and I felt like a fraud for rounding up my 183cm to 185cm lmao.

      I think most people measure their height while wearing some shoes that give them a bit of a lift, combined with people lying it leads to some large mismatches if you measure your height barefoot and are honest.
