I saw a documentary on this guy a while back and now just saw his photo on Gawker.com. I’m drawn to it the way John McCain is drawn to an early-bird special and, thus, needed to post it here…. yet I have nothing really to say.
Anyone want to take a stab at writing a post for it?
The floor is yours.
John McCain is older than HGH (Human Growth Hormone)

Steroids
Specifically, the use of anabolic steroids in humans didn’t begin until 1937. Testosterone was a brand-new discovery, and had just been synthesized in the lab for the first time when John McCain was born. But clinical trials to determine its effects on humans didn’t begin until 1937.
Needless to say, some bodybuilders jumped right on that (”Artificial testicular hormones? Sign me up!”) with Russian and German weightlifters in particular using this new experimental drug to great advantage — and probably quite a lot of nasty side-effects — in the 1940’s. The use of anabolic steroids for arguably higher purposes, such as treating diseases like leukemia, cancer, and AIDS, took decades more to develop.
So the roided-up bodybuilder above? Not even remotely possible when Senator McCain was born. The best a 97-pound-weakling could do is to turn to Charles Atlas for help.

That is the only style of shirt that he can possibly wear over those misshapen arms.
(Note the buzz cut of necessity - he can no longer reach the top of his own head…)

The United Nations, the international assembly that (theoretically) governs and protects human rights, trade, international law, etc etc, is younger than John McCain.
For the first nine years of John McCain’s life, the world had to cope without the U.N.’s non-interference. However did they survive.
