This being from the daily mail, I have my doubts. Can anyone confirm?

Quote:

Donna Simpson already weighs 43st, but she is determined to nearly double her size to become the world's fattest woman.

The 42-year-old from New Jersey, U.S, is set on reaching the 1,000lb mark (71st) in just two years. Remarkably she insists she is healthy, despite now needing a mobility scooter when she goes shopping.

Ms Simpson already holds the Guinness World Record as the world's fattest mother, when she gave birth in 2007 weighing 38stone.

She needed a team of 30 medics to deliver her daughter Jacqueline during a high-risk Caesarean birth.

Yet although she can only move 20ft before needing to sit down, she wants to be even bigger.

'I'd love to be 1,000lb,' she said.

'It might be hard though. Running after my daughter keeps my weight down.'

Quote:

You might expect her long-term partner Philippe, 49, to advise her to slim down, but instead he encourages her to eat more.

He met Donna on a dating site for plus-size people and is a self-confessed fat admirer, although he himself only weighs 150lbs.

'I think he'd like it if I was bigger,' said Donna.

'He's a real belly man, and completely supports me.'

He must use a bloody CRANE then!

Quote:

To fund the massive $750 weekly food shop, she runs a website where men pay her to watch her eat fast food.

WTF?

There's more at the link. I don't CARE whether its true.

Gee, something else New Jersey has to be proud of.
Fucking hoo-ray.

They did a story/interview with her on the local news last night. I had to laugh at the woman that did the story. Back in the studio, talking about it with the anchor, she was tripping all over herself trying to be tactful and non-judgemental, on the air.

Something along the lines of "and yes, this big fat tub of disgusting goo (not that there's anything wrong with that) hopes to reach her goal of bigger and fatter tub of disgusting goo."

Someone shoot her, please.

I doubt they will make the cut.

KENNEWICK, Wash. (AP) - A burglar who spent about five hours on a store's computer after breaking into the business gave police all the clues they needed to track him down. Investigators said the 17-year-old logged into his MySpace account while at Bella Office Furniture and that made it easy for them to find him. He also spent time looking at pornography and trying to sell stolen items, all while using the business' computer.

He was arrested Tuesday and charged with first degree burglary. Kennewick Police said he helped officers recover a cell phone stolen in the break-in.

Some days you just run into many different and interesting stories.

There is the new humanoid skeleton found, then there was the giant sea roach and THEN there is the study on condoms. I never realized there was such science going into preventing condom failure. One way to reduce condom failure is so study men's anatomy.

Oh yes. This is the weird news of the day. People are actually getting paid to study this but what is weirder is men line up to take part in a study? Do they knock on a door and say,"excuse me, I'm part of a study...blah blah...May we take a measurement?"

Police have arrested two women after they tried to take the body of a dead relative onto a plane at Liverpool John Lennon Airport.

Staff became suspicious when the women tried to check in the man, who was wearing sunglasses, for a flight to Berlin on Saturday.

ha! I just came here to post this! Methinks the ladies do protest too much. I guess they wanted to bury him in his homeland and not pay the huge cost to fly a dead body.

Either that or they were going to say he died on the plane and try to sue the airline :P

I suspect your suggestion is more likely

Carruthers · 04-07-2010, 06:57 AM

It's obvious, surely? They were trying to get him on board as carrion baggage.
