Today I want to introduce another Flickr attraction: Navy guys in art.

HOT! lol

For those of you who know, I was really into the Navy and I was going to apply for the Academy until I realized that my legs just wont allow it. Now even though I didn't want to join the Navy for the guys, it doesn't hurt to gawk at them now. lol

This one's from Magnolia Thunderpussy. Her photostream is nice, reminds me of dcwooten. There's more if you click her link.

This painful operation adds length by allowing new bone to grow in the gap left by gradually seperating ends of the broken bone. The patient's shinbones are cut in two, a brace is applied and metal pins would pull apart the bones a millimetre each day. Risks include feet permanently turned at odd angles, twisted legs, and weakened bones that break again and again.
