(Spoiler Alert: He didn't get out of the chair for anything (1 or 2) - his wife simply cleaned up after him. )


Ohhhh...TMI! TMI!

Yes, this is exactly the kind of person I would take spiritual advice from.

And I'm sorry but if the wife truly loves him, she'll make him clean up after himself.

It's much better simply to imagine - I'm sure the pictures are worse than you could imagine.

Webb died on the couple’s second anniversary. They met four years ago on MySpace, and Ada Webb said she didn’t see a man who weighed more than 500 pounds, but instead saw a guy who loved the Lord and had a big heart.

Apparently having a big heart for the Lord isn't terribly different from having a big heart due to complete lack of cardiovascular health.

Well, if you knew that Christianity was real, wouldn't you want to help as many people not burn as possible? I mean, if you are going to be that kind of crazy, you might as well live up to the consequences.

Sure - but the selfish bastard wouldn't take anyone with him? :)

Here is a lady who spent 2 years in her bathroom. She finally stuck to the toilet, unable to get up for a month because the seat fused to her butt.

this poor lady fused to her couch after sitting there for 6 years.

I wonder if there's a name for this phenomenon. Apparentnly these 2 stories have nothing to do with religioun, but there's clearly a psychological disorder involved.

And here I am feeling guilty that I'm effectively fused to my bed today.

Stranglely enough, there was an episode of Nip/Tuck that must have been inspired by the couch-lady episode. While my memory is surely flawed, I recall that yes, there was the lurid, "that's amazing, that incredibly obese lady is fused to the couch" but she, and her family, were portrayed as real human beings, with real grief, and real problems, and real emotions. Better than the actual press does.
