Lizzie Velasquez, a 21-year old woman from Texas, suffers from a rare and undiagnosed syndrome that has her eating every 15 minutes just to stay alive.  Although she consumes a mind boggling 60 meals a day, Velasquez’s skeleton frame barely weighs 60 pounds and contains almost zero per cent body fat . Lizzie said:

I weigh myself regularly and if I gain even one pound I get really excited.  I eat every 15-20 minutes to keep my energy levels up. I eat small portions of crisps, sweets, chocolate, pizza, chicken, cake, doughnuts, ice cream all day long, so I get pretty upset when people accuse me of being anorexic. When I meet new people I have to say: ‘Hi, I’m Lizzie and I have this rare syndrome, I am NOT anorexic’.

Lizzie Velasquez was born four weeks prematurely and weighing only 2lb 10oz.  This tiny infant had doctors astonished by her condition and for surviving the birth.  Experts from around the world came to see this baby who only weighed 2lbs and who has this rare condition that genetic experts could not diagnose.

Through numerous of testing and studies, Professor Abhimanyu Garg, believe Velasquez has a syndrome called Neonatal Progeroid Syndrome which causes aging, fat loss from the face and body. It has been said people with Neonatal Progeroid Syndrome, may have symptoms of triangular, prematurely aged faces with pointy nose, not being able to walk, talk, or have an everyday normal life.

Though Lizzie Velasquez has this rear syndrome and has to consume 5,000 – 8,000 calories a day.  This does not stop her from her daily activities and striving to become a motivational speaker.

ROCKHAMPTON, Australia – A man from the Royal Australian Air Force has proved the Science show ‘Mythbuster wrong after suffering life-threatening third-degree burns when a porta-a-poty exploded Monday at an airport Down Under.

Officials believe the man was using a portable toilet at the Rockhampton Airport, in the state of Queensland, when he lit a cigarette.

“There was some sort of explosion,” a Department of Community Safety spokeswoman said. “He suffered burns to his head, face, arms, chest and airways.”  The man, whose identity was not released, was taken to the Rockhampton Hospital in a serious condition.

There has been speculation that methane build-up in a portable toilet could cause it to explode — however that theory was not proved when tested by TV science show “Mythbusters.” Its unfortunate this soldier had to find out the hard way they were wrong.

Gary, Indiana – Aaron Pace, 22, wanted to donate blood at his local blood and plasma center.  However; after undergoing the usual interview and screening process, Pace says he was told by staff members of the blood center that he appeared to be a homosexual” and therefore couldn’t donate.

Because the kind of GAYDAR the highly trained Gay Detection Unit At the blood center uses is unknown and the striped shirt Aaron Pace is wearing in the picture can only be seen as circumstantial evidence, it is unknown what about Pace’s “looks, character, and behavior” made him “appear” homosexual.

Neither the blood center owner, Bio-Blood Components Inc., nor the donation center has commented on the matter.  Pace says he was “humiliated and embarrassed” by the experience.  However; he was not clear on which part of the experience — being called gay or being denied the opportunity to donate blood — bothered him the most.

FYI, blood donation centers are allowed to turn away gay men because of a Food and Drug Administration policy—enacted in 1983 for HIV fear reasons — that prohibits men who have had sex with a man even once since 1977 from donating blood.

Mason, Ohio – Stacy Schuler, A former Mason High School teacher, has changed her plea in the case where she is accused of having sex with five male students between August and December of last year.  Schuler’s attorney, Charlie Rittgers, filed a motion last week changing her plea from not guilty to not guilty by reason of insanity. The 33-year-old physical education teacher was indicted in February on 16 counts of sexual battery and three counts of providing alcohol to a minor.

Well what kind of insane female teacher would sleep with 5 of her high school students?  Well that has yet to be released to the public because Rittgers,  claims his client was “unable to prevent the young men from taking advantage of her because of an ‘unspecified’ impairment.”  FYI  it is still being debated if nymphomania is a true mental disorder?

Warren County Prosecutor David Fornshell said Wednesday he thinks the plea change is interesting because Schuler previously denied that the alleged offenses ever occurred.  Now, after reviewing the evidence against Schuler, the defense is playing the rarely used and often unsucessful insanity card.

Stay tuned to find out what impaired Stacy Schuler enough to allow 5 high school football players to easily penetrate her defense and score on her.

For one scumbag criminal it was not enough for him to rob Josie Barnes and her sister at gun point.  He also felt the need to rob her of confidence and self worth by calling her a ‘fat cow’ while he struggled to tie her up.

It all took place on December 2006,  when Josie went to pick her sister up from the bar In Essex County England where both sisters worked.

Barnes said she felt helpless and totally humiliated that after thieves put a gun to her head , tied up her arms and legs, & forced her to lie down on the floor of the bar, one of them took time out to ridicule her weight problem.

After the ordeal Barnes withdrew from work, the rest of the world and resorted to sitting at home eating  junk food. Because she was terrified to go outside, she remained indoors and piled even more weight from living her reclusive lifestyle.

Josie said: ‘I had flashbacks and slept with the light on for more than a year. My confidence was totally destroyed.

‘At school people would call me lardy or fatty and shout nasty things.

‘When the robber called me fat that night, it just brought all those horrible memories back.’

After 2 years Josie decided she had enough and would no longer allow the bullies to have power over her.  She signed up for Weight Watchers the day after she returned from a family trip to Aruba.  She managed to shed nearly 115 lbs and will be able to slip into her dream wedding dress when she gets married this summer.  The former bar tender has dropped down from a size 24 to a size 10 and plans on staying there, especially since it helped her to meet her Turkish hunk fiance.

Josie Barnes believes if the robber’s haunting word’s never inspired her to make changes nothing else would have.
