I swear some people say 'Epic' to everything that they like.. seriously.. use more words.. this isn't Epic.But interesting

[Daken911]

Good to hear sound medical advice is still coming loud and clear from morons on YouTube

@Kalywonkas OK then,your comment is epic! and interesting :D

[WhiteTiger225]

@Kalywonkas Actually it is epic in both the literal and slang sense. Epic means "Neat, cool, awesome" while literal it means "Of grand proportions" which when derived to slang which is common use and therefore accepted language, it is still true. So again, quit bitching, language evolves based on slang, deal with it. Most ofo ur shit nowadays is slang of Latin words :p

[Kalywonkas]

@WhiteTiger225 Actually, i was reffering to it's use as modern slang, it's overused to describe things that don't really fit it's meaning. Epic typically means something that's really cool or out of the ordinary. A video on the use of x-ray photography isn't "epic"

Conclusion: Stop misinterpreting everything and then bitching hypocritically.

[WhiteTiger225]

@Kalywonkas It is called modern slang which will one day be considered common language, and one day after that old words.

I mean, how many people read the outrageous cellphone bill and go "Oh pussyfeathers!" or "Dag Gummit!" or "Well Gee Willickers!"

How many people think "Stupid" means "Dope" anymore? And how many people still use dope as "Awesome" or "Awesome" as "To inspire Awe" rather then its current use as "Neat"

TL;DR: Quit bitching just to Bitch.

They still advertise these glasses in the back section of 'Boy's Life' magazine...(jk)

[kjarlsn]

you wont find these kind of pictures taken anymore, any semi smart person would know the risk you take from getting exposed to x-rays. Its amazing that they in USA offers full body CT-scanning just to make sure there isnt anything wrong with you... did u guys know that 1:10.000 would die of cancer for getting exposed that much, on your vital organs.

the only reason they do it is to make some caaasshhh
