    I wish I could adopt him.
    I could show him to all my friends and stuff, I want to have my own treeman.
    Seriously if they'd clone this dude and make him the size of a midget or something it would be the most awesome pet ever.

    Peace out
    Blargh?!?!

    Sounds mean, but I was pretty disgusted.

    I mean, yeah, I feel like shit for the guy, but would YOU want to give him a hug or shake his hand? I know I wouldn't.

    Why? Well jeez... Warts? All those flies? I'm a hygiene freak, I'd have to bath and shower before and after even being near him.

    Hell, I don't even feel right leaving the house without having had a bath in the same day beforehand most of the time.

    It's a disgusting disease, but I do feel sorry for him. If this is real, anyway. I've never seen anything like it until now.

    The person in my avatar is me.

    *fights temptation to say 'I am Evil Tree. Prepare to meet your doom!'*

    But seriously, that's some horrible disease. The virus must have mutated or something. Poor guy.

    Hmm...human Papilloma Virus? Isn't that the virus that also has a variant that may cause women to develop cancer on the uterus?

    Guess you learn something new every day.

    Darn, I just saw the video and I can't believe what I saw. That mutated growth looks quite disgusting, a mixture between barklike warts and apparently nail overgrowth as well. And one of his hands is big, real big. Yet, it seems that the warts cause him no pain, since he behaves quite normally despite the condition.

    Also, who'd have known a treatment of Vitamin E synthed in labs would work as a treatment? Seems that it helps on the immune system development, as the man has a compromised system. It's a miracle he has such a good health, save for the warts.

    About the info I said first...I know of it because there's an ad on TV that promotes a vaccine against the type of Human Papilloma Virus responsible for cancer in the uterus. Granted, perhaps it's not the same type and more of a preventive vaccine than an antiviral compound, but I wonder how it may result on someone with that genetic defect? Perhaps it could halt the development of said virus on the small number of people with such genetic mutation?

    Still...it's disturbing, but there's also elephantiasis (is it written that way? Y'know, the Elephant-Man condition?), gigantism and dwarfism, which are not related but also cause abnormal growth. And the first one is equally disturbing, and better known.

    The Final Boss Theorem:
    The size of the ultimate form of the final boss is inversely proportional to it's chances of actually beating your party. If you agree with this, please copy and paste this valuable piece of info on your sig. AND, if you're evil and villainous...never settle for a big form when a smaller form is more kickass...
