Friday, January 16, 2009 1:26:45 PM Ok, according to Guiness World Records, 2008 edition, the largest bladder stone ever succesfully removed from a person was 4 lbs, 2 oz. (i.9 kg) and was about 7 by 5 by 3.7 inches (or 17.9 by 12.7 by 9.55 cm). It was removed from the body of Jose de Castro da Silva from Brazil on August 25, 2003. Please don't flame me for making you throw up in your mouth a little. Also, Ripley's Believe it or Not! did a special on the oldest living person with ectopia cordis, or having the heart located somwhere where it shouldn't be located. I forget his name, but he's like thirty-something now and has to wear a protective chest plate at all times. But it showed him taking the chest plate off and his chest is perfectly normal looking...except for the large, fleshy lump pulsing just beneath his skin. |

Thursday, January 15, 2009 2:55:40 PM "Why did it have to show elephantiasis of the nutsac? Also, I don't think 1 in 5.5 million men can have two penises with only 1,000 cases recorded."if there's only 1,000 cases recorded, then it's possible because it isn't an accurate statistic. Perhaps a majority of these cases were recorded in the U.S. |

Thursday, January 15, 2009 12:34:32 PM #2 is the worst, I think. I don't know why, but that picture creeps the the drat out. All the other ones are cool, it's just that one that gives me goosebumps. No idea why, it just does. |

Thursday, January 15, 2009 8:54:03 AM Only a few were new to meI've seen them on the internet, tv, or in books. Life can be cruel, that is all I can say But at least some people are able to find happiness in their...ah-what's the word? But at least some don’t limit themselves. At least they know that they can still find happiness…the illnesses that don’t cause limitations and the ones that are ‘minor’ anyways On a side note- I am disgusted my the disgustedness of the disgusted

Thursday, January 15, 2009 3:29:16 AM Opie, I'm afraid it's because we (they?) don't have these sort of deformities, and such we (they?) tend to de-humanize them and see them as part of an exhibit instead of being people with very weird diseases. While you, of course, have personal experience in this matter.I understand what you're saying, but this has occurred throughout the world since humans first existed on Earth. That's why there were the KKK (i hate them) and racists that believe they are above every other race. Unfortunately, we do not accept the things that can't even be helped (diseases, skin color) and instead some people with the disease/ skin color choose to attempt to "fit in" in order to be accepted. |
