Since I don’t have the resources to do this (at least not at the moment) I thought I’d post it here, if someone develops this perhaps they can give me a few mill.
OK here is it, a genitically engineered weight loss worm. (you are now looking at several million dollars)
You take a pill that contains a dormant worm. In the stomach the worm awakes and eats all your food (well almost all). When you get down to your desired weight you take another pill that kills the worm.
That’s all for now.
There was a story in an Underground Comix comic similar to this. It was about a talking teapot and tapeworms taking over the world… actually it wasn’t that similar.
Sounds like the beginning of a sub-par Steven King novel to me.
I remember hearing somewhere that in ages past, “diet pills” consisted of a pill with a tape-worm egg in it. Don’t know how much truth there is to that, though.
Repeat after me:
Eat less - excercise more,
Eat less - excercise more,
Eat less - excercise more,
Eat less - excercise more,
…Repeat to fade…
Wasn’t there an episode of “Sliders” where they ended up in a world where they used special genetically modified bacteria as a weightloss product, only it turned everyone into vampires?
