One of the thoughts that enters my mind is, what happened when he had the urge to use the bathroom? Did they have a 2nd one or did he have to knock on the neighbor's door umpteen times? And if he did I bet that that put a definate strain on his friendship with his neighbors, no pun intended. Another thought is if she had literally grown to the toilet seat, how did she perform all the normal tasks involved with everyday sanitary bathroom functions? That is as graphic as I want to get about this subject and I will let you each use your imagines. All in all I guess that this is one more case for those who write the stories of weird events and believe it or not oddities.
The news said that the couple had two bathrooms so the boyfriend could use the other. Also, one news story said the woman moved around in the bathroom, changed clothes, and bathed or somehow cleaned up. I wondered how she could do that if her flesh had grown to the toilet seat. I think there is more to this story that what we are hearing. It would be interesting to hear the entire story from when the problem first started until after she was rescued from a prison of her own making. Also, did the man work? If so, did she just sit in the bathroom until he got home if he did? It must have been a very boring life. I guess they must not have had any kids.

A 19-storey crane alongside a New York skyscraper has toppled like a tree, crashing into apartment buildings, killing four people and setting off a scramble for survivors.
The crane split into pieces as it fell on top of a four-storey townhouse and demolished parts of three other buildings. One man was pulled from the townhouse three-and-a-half hours after the building was crushed.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg said at least four people, all of them believed to be construction workers, had died and at least 10 people had been injured in one of the city’s worst construction accidents in recent memory.
The collapse happened on Manhattan’s East Side. Cars were overturned and crushed.
A huge dust cloud rose over the neighbourhood. Rubble was piled several storeys high.
“It’s a horrible situation, very gory. There’s blood in the street,” said Lieutenant Governor David Paterson.
An intensive rescue operation was under way to find anyone possibly trapped in the rubble on 51st Street near 2nd Avenue.
Fire Commissioner Nicholas Scoppetta said the rescue was “a painstaking hand operation, as we try to remove the rubble so we don’t cause further collapse or injure anyone who may still be in that building.”
