He has kids. Which brings about a fucked line of questions regarding how he got around to doing that in that condition. :mccosky:

Too bad he isn't becoming an apple tree. He'd be able to feed his neighborhood.

Is that how the Treants in Lord of the Rings started out?

You know what freaked me out? The fact that the disease is transferred from skin-to-skin contact, and the interviewer was sitting their picking at his skin.

I just watched the whole segment on this last night. I still feel like throwing up. He has "friends" that are just as deformed as him, if not more.

BTW, he refused treatment at first due to the Minister of Health saying that it was cruel of the doctor to treat him. Apparently he is taking treatment now that would give him the use of his hands again.

I still can't believe the guy was picking at his hands. That just seems stupid.
