He clearly can't walk, so somebody had to bring him all that food. Why didn't anyone say, "hey, dude, you need to stop eating," somewhere around, oh, say 600 lbs.?
How did the world's fattest man pay for all that food when he can't even move to go to work?

I didn't eat anything red, such as red tomatos or red hot chesstos, or just anything extremly red. This proves that those were actually blood on my poop. And the poop appears to color; half light brownish and a small half red. It didn't hurt when i poop, but there were just blood on my poop. This is actually the first time it ever happen, and I'm sure it came from my butt hole and not anywhere else. Help! I'm scared if I'm haveing some kind of sickness that could lead me to the hospital then to death.

i consider myself a low scale hypochondriac. its not like i always think i have cancer or anything like that, its just that i constantly worry about getting things like colds and stomach flus. it started 2 yrs ago when i was coughing blood, and i told mysel fi would never get sick again. plus i am a very serious swimmer and even a small cold will affect my training a lot. some things i do now are: take 2 echinacea pills a day, take 2 calcium supplements a day, and take 2 gnc "mega teen " tablets a day (26 vitamins) i am also a germaphobic and use purel like its oxygen! but i still worry a lot about getting sick (yes maily because of swimming and i wont be able to go on a training trip in the winter if im sick) and because i hate feeling like s h i t. so what else can i do to not get acold/flu/virus/anything? i kow most 17 yr olds shouldnt be like this but im not your average 17 yr old.
thanks =)

Why do you like that kind of birth control? I've never been on birth control and am planning on getting on it after I have my daughter. I also plan on breastfeeding if this affects it in anyway.

I'm looking to go on a diet to lose between 10-15 lbs. I sit in a cube for 9 hours a day, so it's easy for me to be a snacker. I need to find a diet that will still allow me to eat healthily while I'm losing the weight. I know that the Atkins Diet is popular but, I heard that it can also be damaging to your health if you cut out all carbs. I also want to stay away from "crash dieting." I want something that I can stick with years down the road. Any ideas?

I moved to a new town and thus a new dentist. My old dentist did a cleaning every four months and kept an eye on my deep pockets which never trouble me. The new dentist says I need root planing. About ten years ago I paid 150 per quadrant. Considering inflation I would expect it to be about 300 per quadrant now but fear it is even more. Can anyone tell me what they paid recently per quadrant?

If there is a hymen that has to be broken in order to the penis to be fully inserted in a woman's vagina then how come period blood is easily flowable from the uterus out of the body?

And are you aware if your hymen is already broken through bike riding or as such before you actually have intercourse?
