    It takes alot of willpower to cram that 10th twinky into your mouth

    If she was on the couch for five years how did she go to the bathroom? How did she get food? Whoever gave this lady food needs a talking to. This just seems unreal.

    She must have had pschological problems to begin with. I just can't imagine any sane person allowing themselves to degenerate into that.

    Hence the investigation. Never to have moved in 1400+ days? Something very wrong there.

    The question is who changed the diapers and how?

    I feel sorry for those fireman that tried to rescue the lady. After sitting on a couch for 5 years she must have smelled very bad.

    Nah, wouldn't work.
    Instead we should make a law that no one is allowed to be over 350 pounds.

    Yeah well, then they end up suing McDonalds and getting rid of the supersize . It's one thing if you try and lose wait, or if it's a disease or something... But if you blaim it on other people and don't try and help yourself, that's messed up. Of course, I have the exact opposite problem. I'm 5'9", 16 and around 105 (give or take a couple of pounds, depending on the time of day and how much I've had to eat).

    You're 250 pounds! That's what about 17 and a half stones. I'm sorry, I don't mean to offend, but that's pretty heavy. I'm only 13 stones (182 pounds) and I'm 3 years older than you, am six feet tall, and am fairly muscular from playing rugby.

    Unless of course American pounds have a smaller mass than British pounds, in which case you may be a perfectly normal weight. If this is the case feel free to disregard my post.

    That's one horrible story. I still cannot comprehend how did her skin and the couch "became one", unbelievable.
    In some cases cowboys was buried with their boots on only because the boots had grown attached to his feets. The body simply starts to use that as skin instead.

    So that grown attached part is possible, the question here is who the hell took "care" of her, when it comes to food and toilet wisitings.
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    And I go to the Org for this... horrible.
    "And one should bear in mind that there is nothing more difficult to execute, nor more dubious of success, nor more dangerous to administer than to introduce a new order to things; for he who introduces it has all those who profit from the old order as his enemies; and he has only lukewarm allies in all those who might profit from the new. This lukewarmness partly stems from fear of their adversaries, who have the law on their side, and partly from the skepticism of men, who do not truly believe in new things unless they have personal experience in them."

    Ahh, R´as, you were also one of these "cowards"
    I was in a surgery department of a hospital. Watching people suffer untill they die and that stuff. I could try to top your story with some of mine, but I don´t want members to get sick. Back then I always had the impression to be in a sort of twilight zone, as if normal reality stops at the door and waits untill you´re back.
