We need to develop the Beer-power Scale (which is, of course and inverse Richter Scale). The more, yet drunker people that help, the less that gets done. The upper limit is that everyone is totally blotto and no work gets done at all (my target state).

How do people allow themselves to get so fat? I can understand if some of this is water weight, but usually it is all fat. They can say all they want about thyroid, hormones etc, but if energy in < enery out, you will lose weight, and with their obesity just sitting up has to burn 100 calories.

I heard a doctor on one of those obesity shows on Discovery Health state that these people eat around 20,000-30,000 calories of food every day - what normal people consume in a 2 week span.
This is no hormonal, metabolism issue with these folks. This is gluttony, pure and simple.
Some medicines will cause one to put on weight (for instance, steroids) but none will make someone weigh this much.

That’s a heck of a lot of food - even if it was buttered iced funnelcake topped with ice cream!

Is it the picture or is that bread moldy?

I thought we got our system of lbs, oz’s ext. from The English system, so where did “stone” come from. Do they have a big rock encased in glass somewhere in England that weighs exactly 14 lbs? Not all stones weigh the same, some are bigger than others.
