Does anyone here understand why people do this to themselves? Is it some sort of disorder, like anorexia?
Body dysmorphia is relatively common, has a high rate of attempted suicide and deaths by suicide.
These guys are strong evidence that whatever it is, it's heritable.
The top one is the before.
Wouldn't you want to change that?
(Just joking. It's the reverse.)

>Baez, who made a comparison between the two affairs, later retracted, saying that the brothers "have lost too much face for [withdrawing the work as a hoax] to be a plausible course of action".
It looks like they had a lot of plastic surgery to repair the effects of losing too much face. [1]
Totally second this. I often mention this scandal when discussing pseudo sciences, along with Elisabeth Teissier case. Quite embarrassing for my country but surely a good laugh. Love that this ended on HN !
- aesthetic surgery (in a close race with actresses Emanuelle Beart and Angelina Jolie)
- aliens (or people looking like, claiming to have met, or communicate with aliens)
- chins (a rather popular comedian has based about 12% of all his jokes about silly puns with Bogdanov's brothers and the word 'menton')
- lots of other stufff
- mad scientists
- and, I suppose, cosmologists (although it is probably a challenge to make a cosmologist joke in front of a regular audience.)
For whatever it's worth, next time you have to make a standup routine in France.
