Could you sit on the toilet for two years?

[Araciel]

So did she get into Guinness or not?

[CimminyCricket]

Wow, so many questions based on her liking her bathroom.

[KentaRawr!]

Well, holy .

...

Wasn't there a portable Sims game?

[rubah]

I didn't realize it until just now, but I just read hte Encyclopaedia Dramatica entry on "Shay" yesterday and this woman makes me think of her.

[Momiji]

I wonder if she was reading a good book or something...:rolleyes2

one book?

would have to be a woman with the IQ of 50 reading the bible..

"I-in th-...th-- what's that word?"

"The."

"In the begi- begin-begignig-- and that one?"

"Beginning."

Three months later...

"Me-met- met-who..."

"Methuselah."

I'm pretty smurfing appalled by a lot of the replies in this thread... to even get into a situation like that would require some combination of, if not all of:

* Serious mental illness or disability
* Morbid obesity
* Heart-wrenchingly callous apathy from friends and relatives
* A conscious decision by said friends and relatives to keep her there

~<i>for a very long period of time</i>.

For whatever reason or reasons, this woman has been suffering severely for two years, and even her "boyfriend" didn't see the need to do anything about it until just now. It's truly grotesque, and about as much of a 'laughing matter' as that thread about the Marines and their puppy.

[Araciel]

Mental illness is the only part of that list that should have stopped her from choosing to get off if her boyfriend truly ASKED her daily to come out.

I'm no longer confused as to how skin could possibly form around a toilet seat. Though now I am feeling a bit sick.

A similar thing happens to dangerously obese people who become 'stuck' to a couch after sitting there so long. Their flesh eventually starts to mingle with, and grow around, the fibres of the cloth.

[Yamaneko]

At least it was convenient.

Now that you've mentioned it, I remember hearing about his happening to people.
Do you think the same could work for clothing? I mean, if someone wears...the same socks and underwear, since for the most part they're form fitting, for a long time, will the body work itself in with the fabric?

Normally, people move around enough that their clothing wears out or rots into nothing if it's worn for long periods. This happens to homeless people sometimes.

If you were to sit in one place wearing the same clothes, then it might presumably happen if you kept gaining weight, or if you were young and still growing.

The longest I've sat upon the porcelain throne is when playing Final Fantasy III DS. So about 45 minutes.

Phew. I was afraid I was the only person who plays DS games on the can :rolleyes2

[rubah]

Isn't the reason nintendo built the DS was so that japanese business men could spend enough time on their talking automated toilets to make up the cost?

I still don't have a DS.
