...wounds: "Shrapnel wounds almost always look like someone took a jagged shovel and dug a chunk of flesh out of the body, then filled it in awkwardly with hairless, discolored skin that shouldn't be on a human being. Burn wounds are smoothly hideous, like the skin was turned into peanut butter and then spread in stretched, uneven dollops on the body. Or maybe you come back missing a finger or your face, or the whole or parts of your limbs. Maybe your eyes are gone...
...Longtime naked hiker Grottenpösch says the possibility of a new penal code (no pun intended) makes his flesh crawl. "Some people may see nudity as indecent, but what harm does it do to public security and order?" he asks, adding that he has already convened about a dozen other nude-hiking aficionados to devise legal action.

Over at Academic Approach, online programs are also enjoying double-digit growth. They're more expensive - $499.99 for 45 instructional videos and over 375 lessons - but still a bargain compared to $100-to-$200 an hour the company...
