Have you ladies heard this? Obesity is caused by a virus...

If any of the medical folks have an opinion, I'd love to hear it.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming ‘Wow - what a ride!’ — Peter Sage

Hmmmm, very interesting. I think I may have the infection.

I think the virus is called eattoomuchitis, perhaps accompamied with a touch of dontdomuchplexy. Probably an American virus. It sounds like the writer of this article suffers from blamesomethingelseism.

It could be the dreaded Human Portionoutofcontolovirus.

OMG.......you guys are way too funny. Now, I need to buy a new keyboard. I'm laughing way too hard and I just spit my morning coffee out all over my keyboard....shoot, this is the second keyboard I had to buy this year!

Seriously, Sparrow, this is the first time I've heard of it. Maybe someone else can shed some light. Interesting.

Methinks Robin should not be eating or drinking while she is posting on this forum.
Glad to hear Sparrow is enjoying, inspite of Viral Grumpyitis.

I could be wrong but I think this virus may be linked to hand-TO-mouth disease. Not to be confused with foot in mouth disease.

LOL- This thread is pretty funny!

Look doctor...everytime her elbow bends her mouth opens!!!

Or...Look Doctor...everytime his elbow bends his mouth opens!!!


ETA that I don't know if there's a viral cause for obesity, but there does seem to be a link to elbow tendonitis.

I'm cracking myself up:7 :7 :7 :7
