    Pretty inspirational

    Barbie Thomas, who lost both of her arms in a transformer accident when she was 2 years old, has competed as a bodybuilder in Phoenix, Ariz., since 2000. When Barbie was younger she danced, swam and played soccer but it wasn’t until 2000 that she found her true calling and started training to be a bodybuilder.
    While she hasn’t placed first against a crowded field of competitors, she says she’ll do it someday. “When I first decided I wanted to compete, I talked with an organizer who told me I’d never win,” she said. “When someone says I can’t do something, it lights a fire under me.”
    Barbie went on to say, “I believe I am here on earth to be an example and an inspiration. [GOD] let me live, my mom held up her end of the bargain, and the rest is up to me! All I can say is I’ll do my best!”
    And you’re probably sitting at your office like me bitching about how it’s Monday.

    Regardless of how inspirational it is, it is still one of the most bizarre things I've seen in a long time.

    There's no way it was Megatron, I'd say it was when she was changing a tape for Soundwave and it snapped shut :(

    There is a guy in my gym with no legs, walks around the gym on crutches and prosthetic legs. I didnt know until I saw him in the changing room that he had no legs just though he was nursing an injury. He is a big dude is very good shape, I think he is a total legend. Makes my excuses for being a fat bastard very pathetic.
