Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Mug
A collagen disorder affecting roughly 1 in 5000 people to varying degrees. There are 4 "most common" types of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS): Classical 1 & 2, Hypermobile and Vascular. Because collagen is like the glue that holds the human body together, people with EDS almost always show marked joint hypermobility, eg. "double-jointedness". In its severe form, EDS causes frequent dislocations, because there is very little holding joints in place. Tendons, ligaments, skin and internal tissues can be amazingly stretchy, but this also creates weakness, so sufferers' skin usually bruises, cuts and scars easily, as well as being unusually sensitive to heat and sunburn. Also, because our eyes are composed predominantly of collagen, sufferers are often short-sighted and have a high risk of glaucoma later in life. The Classical types embody all of these symptoms. Type 1 is the name given to the more chronic cases, while Type 2 refers to those with less severe symptoms. The Classical and Hypermobile types are very similar, however the Hypermobile type has loose joints as its most chronic symptom. Skin and organ problems are less severe in this type. Building lean muscle to protect and strengthen joints can greatly improve symptoms and reduce dislocations, while still allowing for increased mobility. In the Vascular form, EDS affects the walls of veins and arteries, making them thin and extremely fragile. The vast majority of sufferers of this type die from cardiovascular complications before the age of 50. It is also important to note that sufferers of the other 3 types are also at risk of cardiovascular problems. For more information, contact the Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome National Foundation (EDNF)

War. War Never Changes. War, war never changes. In the year 1945, my great-great grandfather, serving in the army, wondered when he get to go home to his wife and the son he never see. He got his wish, when the U.S. ended WWII by dropping an atomic cloud on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The world awaited Armageddon, instead, something miraculous happened. We began to use atomic energy as a nearly limitless source of power. People enjoyed luxury once thought in the realm of science fiction. Domestic robots, fusion powered cars, portable computers. Then, in the 21st century, people awoke from the American dream. Years of consumption led to the shortages of every major resource. The entire world unraveled. Peace became a distant memory. It is now the year 2077, and we stand on the brink of total war, and I am afraid, for myself, for my wife, for my infant son, because if my time in the army taught me one thing; is that war, war never changes.
Excellent satire - didn't see comments to that end, so find it hard to fathom if most readers, in turn, didn't laugh out loud, and say so. But apparently not.
I am gonna buy it and give it to my nine year old brother

I ordered 4 of your mugs -- and have received 3; hopefully, the 4th is on its way! So far, I've received "fame," "620," and "$" ... only needing "hulo." ...It might be a matter of me being patient, that the 4th mug is on its way. However, the 3 received SO far are all EXCEPTIONAL, in every way!!! Mark Moilanen
