    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Her skin grew around the seat?!?!? That's a disturbing image.

    For some reason I'm reminded of Lethal Weapon 2...

    Well, I've never heard of these things happening anywhere else.

    In fact, I think the U.S. is the only place where you can get a pair of jeans in a store that's over a 40"
    waist.

    Dude, then you don't read much. The most bizarre stories I see coming from any country is Germany...hands down.

    It usually involves a mummified corpse or cannibalism.

    Of course, but overweight people fusing with toilet seats is what I was on about and not bizarre stuff in general.

    Hell, your country's biggest musical icon, Elvis Presley, went the same way. Well, sorta...

    Stepping in here...personally, if someone mentioned a 'fat person fused to something' story, I'd automatically think "America"...other stories I'd not be so quick to stereotype, but everytime I hear of some hugely obese person fusing to their sofa (or in this case bog) or having to be carted out of their house - VIA A REMOVED WALL - it's always in America.

    This isn't anti-America at all, so don't be twisting my words. I've got no beef with America, or at very least, no more beef than any other country (the whole 'popular to hate America' thing amongst sixth formers in this country just sickens me, it's just lame ... like wannabe goths (like those on South Park )

    Anyway...where was I? Erm ... aye, for stories involving grossly obese people, my mind does automatically think of America as that's usually where those stories originate from...not all the time, but the ones I remember do.

    Hmmm...

    As for cannibalism, aye, I'd probably automatically think Germany now ... cos of that nutter a while back.
