(AP) -- Authorities are considering charges in the bizarre case of a woman who sat on her boyfriend's toilet for two years -- so long that her body was stuck to the seat by the time the boyfriend finally called police.Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said it appeared the 35-year-old Ness City woman's skin had grown around the seat. She initially refused emergency medical services but was finally convinced by responders and her boyfriend that she needed to be checked out at a hospital.
😮 This is absolutely insane.

Yeah, my legs would fall asleep, I couldn't stand it.
How do you spend 2 years on a toilet seat?
I just...can't believe this...why would she do this to herself? Why would anyone? Nut cases I tell you.
How is that even possible...? I cant sit on one for half an hour, let alone that long
I was fully expecting to see a picture of a blonde woman when I clicked on that link... 😉
...You can kill me now, Jenny/someone else with blonde hair.
Holy...moly. Two years? Even a week would be a long time to just sit on the toilet seat. Did she do anything like read books, or just sit in there staring at the wall for two years? Also, if I was the boyfriend, I would have called police long before two years!
Well I guess that is the one place you could stay for that long without moving. Anywhere else you'd have to get up every so often to do that.
Shoot, I just finished an eight-hour Zelda Classic marathon and it already felt like I'd have to be surgically removed from my desk chair. I guess I just don't have it in me to last the full two years. I'm also wondering... how, or did she bathe at all in those two years? I have numerous other questions as well, but we'll leave it at that for now.

Good point. I just hope they had another john in the house for everybody else to use...
O.....kay...I...guess...
Insane lady, must be.

QFT QFT. Can't stand WoW. I've seen what it does to people.
Wait a minute....this is insanity!? wtf..How do you even sleep like that?
This is ridiculousness of epic proportions. Somebody get this chick on the Late show.
I just want to know why she wanted to stay on the toilet for two years.

Really severe agoraphobia or some other psychosis.
She's nuts, give her a break.

No doubt..I had a nurse at one of my homes who threw away a good career and her family because of a guy she met online playing WoW. What she fell for was a character in the game because the guy was a jerk and beat the hell out of her..she is back here now but her husband would not take her back. I've also seen more than one person lose their job because of WoW

Bah, nobody loses their jobs because of WoW. They lose their jobs because they have addictive personalities and simply choose WoW to fixate their addictions on. Saying WoW destroys lives is like saying gambling destroys lives, porn destroys lives, or drugs destroy lives. Granted, people commonly say those things, but I think that puts too much blame on the thing being addicted to and takes blame away from the addicted person.
The human brain is a remarkable piece of engineering, but wow, it is really capable of some odd things with a little bad wiring. Or if a connection gets mucked up. Have they tried taking out her brain, blowing on it, and putting it back in?
On addiction - I don't know if I'd blame the person for having an addiction any more than I'd blame the object of their addiction. It's just bad wiring in the brain. They had no control over the brain they were given. And honestly, in general, we have a lot less control over our brains than we like to think we do. Conscience isn't fully integrated into the brain - it was just kinda stuck on at the last minute. It has some overriding powers, but in a sense, it's like trying to tame and ride a wild animal - sure, our brains are a bit more developed, a bit more intelligent, but we're still never gonna have full control, all the time. I mean, you could argue they should work to avoid temptation if they know they've got an addictive personality, but damn, man, you'd pretty much have to be a shut-in for that to work.

I went to an interview at a bank for an network security position. One thing led to another, and we somehow started talking about World of Warcraft (Pre-BC). Seriously, this game is everywhere its seems. We talked for several minutes until they asked me what server I played on, they told me their server and said they were a human paladin. I said I was an undead priest.
Then a moment of silence passed over the room...
The interview continued. Needless to say, I didn't get the job.
