The DIY Dialysis Machine
Millie Kelly was born with a condition that required an immediate operation. During this operation her kidneys started to fail and since she was too small for dialysis machines, doctors told her parents that she was unlikely to live. Luckily for Millie, Dr. Malcolm Coulthard and a colleague tried to build a much smaller kidney machine on their own and they were successful. Her mother said, "It was a green metal box with a few paint marks on it with quite a few wires coming out of it into my daughter - it didn't look like a normal NHS one." The girl was hooked up to the machine over a seven day period to allow her kidneys to recover. Two years later, her mother Rebecca says she is "fit as a fiddle." You should see what Dr. Coulthard can build using a postage stamp, a tuning fork, a lawn chair and a jellyfish.
I love fat ladies you insensitive clod!
Do you know the way to San Josie?
In the photo accompanying the story, the English woman is ugly. The thing is, I think 98% of the English women I've seen are ugly. It's bizarre.
Am I the only person who's noticed this?
(I realize I'm going to zero-out my karma with this, but the question is on my mind so I figured I'd ask.)
but the point stands.
That doesn't make your point any less flamebait in this story. You might as well go to AIDS conferences and tell their speakers that it's their own fault for getting AIDS.
How is this wild, baseless, and likely incorrect speculation modded to +5 insightful?
That is what makes them so awesome.
It goes from God, to Jerry, to me.
Maybe a thousand pounds just by looking at the mother.
Reality is unrelated to your belief.
Reality is also unrelated to your opinion of yourself.
And there's a whole lot of territory between "hideous" and "hot."
And only a self absorbed narcissist like yourself would be concerned about where anyone thinks you fall on that scale.
Not only those characteristics. Always remember this article. It is the secret guide to get more girls.

I thought that she was a fat little piggy. Not that I wouldn't have saved the daughter had I been the doctors, but she is FAR from beautiful.
he posted lyrics to a Spinal Tap song!
Frank Zappa, I think you'll find...
The guy you think you're arguing with made no claims whatsoever about his own appearance. But don't let reality get in the way of a nice self-righteous rant.
Frank Zappa, I think you'll find...
No, you moron, Spinal Tap...
Now that you mention it the cruft to crap ratio has gone down somewhat that I've noticed. It has started to remind me of some of the old days.
