Last night, I was partially wrenched out of an alcohol induced fog
when I heard the following story on the 11 o'clock news.

"...firefighters had to break down a wall of her house and slide the
more than 600 pound woman down a banister on a matress to take her to
the hospital for surgery. She is now at a normal weight of about 150
pounds. Doctors say her emmense weight was attributed to a more than
250 pound ovarian cyst. Doctors report that the cyst was the largest
cyst of any kind ever removed from a human being."

Bizarre.

600 - 250 = 350

so, if she's down to 150, what happened to the other 200 lbs?

Alright, who's the wise guy?
