That's what I was thinking....

Still, that's a fairly heavy couch. Though, I guess it would need to have a lot of structural support to bear that much weight for so long.

I bet the woman from the article had one heck of a "come-hither" stare... oh, wait, nevermind, that would have just been the force of gravity.

haaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

No wonder she liked "watching" children.

She was probably drooling when she watched them...

woah...this woman's story keeps popping up. it cracks me up everytime. the funniest part is this.:

Basically jobless, Thomas looks 20 years older than his 54 years. Criminal records show he has been arrested on drug- and alcohol-related charges, including a DUI on his bicycle in 2002. He was described by one Golden Gate neighbor as someone who did little more than sit alone in the yard for most of the day, drinking bottles of Budweiser while Grinds lay on the couch.

The stench of stale urine and feces still emanated from the home two days after Grinds died, reaching the street 90 feet away, and at least two adjacent properties. Scrawny cats jumped in and out of the house through a broken floor-level window.
puke!!!

Sounds like a case of HandToMoutharitis

You break your leg because you are a lardass...not once but twice...and then sit on the couch in your own fecal matter eating Doritos and drinking soda until the couch fabric absorbs into your skin.

There is no one to blame but the dead woman.

Yeah, obviously there are genes involved, but genes alone will not take you to nearly 500 pounds.
