"Dupont's worldly corporate credo from the 1970s just took a quantum leap," writes Bent Penguin. "Melanotan is coming to a pharmacy near you soon: developed to mimic the hormone that makes your skin tan, albeit without the sun's rays as a trigger. Not only does it make you tan without risks of solar exposure, but it also turns out to have other effects: it's a high-strength anti-inflamatory and a potent aphrodisiac. 'But wait,' as Ron Popiel would say: 'there's more.' As if the above wasn't enough, its also an appetite suppressant! Already dubbed the 'Barbie Pill', it's a brave new world. Better living through chemistry indeed!" Any features you'd recommend for version 2.0?
