Wow, this is actually kinda cool, I'm thinking of making one. Except then, We'll have a problem, people misusing this technology to enchanse their penis size (Can you do that?).

sudama, have you tried clicking the refresh button after clicking the save button on the applet? I experienced the same problem in Windows and that seemed to make it work.

They apparently don't have "chunky" (hey, I can use euphemisms to continue deluding myself, can't I? :-) bodies in the UK either. :-)
