This week's bizarre medical odditiy. Man turning into a tree.

It looks like it’s only broadcast in the uk

I think you mean, maple it has been banyanned… now that he’s famous, do you think he’ll branch out? I just can’t leaf this alone.
These pics are so gross and disturbing that I am sick to my stomach. His um, effected parts don’t look treelike to me, they look furry, like mold. Which is grossing me out all the more.

RE the sex with the bicycle story…[Wayne Campbell] Schwinn![/WC]

I hope he didn’t have any pain in the lumber region.

Oh, and I think we are all just laughing at the horror, not at him.

Maybe he just got confused about what it meant to be a bisexual. :slight_smile:
And the OP? Tell me it Ent happenin’!

What about early signs of foliage?

I have unintentionally created a thread of bad puns. More than I can beat off with a stick.

Well, if the poor guy wanted to beat off, he have to do it with a stick.

Note to self: Don’t ever have sex without a condom again, ever, not ever, not for any reason, no matter how much birth control she’s on. Not ONCE.

I mean, holy shit. AIDS I could deal with. But this…?!

Oh, soon - as soon as he can be cut down to some 2 x 4’s for the framing…

Is there any other kind?

Yup. And I showed the pics to both of my teens and told them about the HPV. I dont’ care that the guy has a rare genetic disorder that caused the HPV to do this–I wanted to drive home the condom usage message. #1 son-no idea if I got through. Daughter? Asked when she could get the Gardasil shots…
:eek:

Does it look like fur and feathers to anyone else or am I the only one who keeps imagining his “hand” brushing against mine and me screaming, traumatized for life? I’ve seen a lot of bad stuff in my years as a nurse, but this is in a category of its own.

Oh my God, Daphne wasn’t kidding!

And to think it all began when his father’s seed got past his mother’s bush…
yeah, I know. I’m goin’ to hell too.

She wasn’t supposed to get Apollo turned into a tree! Just her own self…
:smiley:

Leaf here, now.

Not to freak you out, but:
“Condoms offer little protection against HPV since any skin-to-skin contact can result in transmission of the virus.”

Because in Europe, Australia, Japan, and even the US as well as a lot of other places people get treatment for this sort of thing before it gets this far. It’s called modern medicine, it’s pretty useful at times.

Well, it’s not Illinois, but a couple of years ago there were conjoined twins born in northern Indiana. And there are the Hensel twins in Minnesota (well, OK, they don’t have 8 legs, just 2)… stuff like this happens all over the world, but because in wealthier areas people can usually get care without exploitation and before things get hideously advanced, babies get surgery shortly after birth, and so forth you don’t as often find folks living in misery with untreated problems.

I think he’s a Changeling.

I wonder how he looks in the fall when the leaves change? And is he concerned about termites?
