Article on "Fat Faye"
britMonster:
That was actually an April Fools Joke by BBC. You are correct in the fact that no penguins can fly. However many people call what they do under water "Flying".

--- Quote from: evernew on 10 Jul 2008, 04:51 ---One of the reasons why I'm so pissed off about fat people and smokers getting treatment out of the public healthcare is that they are a) aware that they're submitting themselves to health risks and b) that they choose to incur these risks individually but as soon as disaster strikes they want it to be paid by the public.
Hell, I like dangerous and unhealthy stuff, too. But I know that a snowboarding injury will come out of my pocket.

So if you hit a tree while snowboarding, and are left paralyzed from the neck down, requiring thousands of hours of rehabilitation and at least part-time nursing care for the rest of your life, is that going to come out of your pocket too, hero?

My general view is, once nothing works below the neck, it's time to ask a trusted friend to get the .45.

There was a good movie released last year called (in English) The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0401383/
It was based on a book of the same name, which was the non-fiction memoir of a completely paralyzed person. From Wikipedia:
--- Quote ---...Bauby suffered a stroke and lapsed into a coma. He awoke 20 days later, mentally aware of his surroundings but physically paralyzed with the exception of some movement in his head and left eye. The entire book was written by Bauby blinking his left eyelid, in July and August of 1996. A transcriber repeatedly recited a French language frequency-ordered alphabet (E S A R I N T U L etc.), until Bauby blinked to choose the next letter. The book took about 200,000 blinks to write and each word took approximately two minutes.... [The book] received excellent reviews and sold 150,000 copies in the first week and went on to become a number one bestseller across Europe.

Make sure that your friend with the .45 gets your consent before he pulls the trigger! You might want to write your memoir first.

Not only would I say it to your face, assuming you're as dangerously overweight as you seem to be claiming, I've said it to other people before too. They understood and agreed, because they were fairly smart.
