    Well that narrows the choices!
    • jemka, on 07/16/2008, -0/+2My lord, this tumor has a head, eyes, ears...

      Doctor, I believe that's the woman.

      Ah, well done.

    • sayoshinn, on 07/16/2008, -5/+2you mean 2 olsen twins...
    • tombonneau, on 07/16/2008, -3/+5I was going to post the same thing. Average minds think alike?

  • LordSkywalker, on 07/15/2008, -1/+50How would you not feel a 140-pound thing inside you? And I thought it was crazy when women gave birth, not knowing they were pregnant. 140 pounds is practically me inside her. Aw, why'd I just say that.
  • psud0, on 07/15/2008, -5/+14Oh, god this is just unbelievable. "They said it had likely been growing for 15 to 20 years." and she didn't notice it???
    • ciano, on 07/16/2008, -0/+12She thought it was fat.
      • bluezinc, on 07/16/2008, -1/+8So did her doctors, apparently she and everyone she knew is full of fail.
  • darthsand, on 07/15/2008, -0/+6miraculous!

    • thestranger, on 07/16/2008, -1/+8That's what she said, but.....it was.
    • sayoshinn, on 07/16/2008, -1/+17GET IN THE CHOPPAH!
    • ayeroxor, on 07/16/2008, -11/+2"'Its not a tumer!' - Schwarzenegger"

      Even though Arnie is about as ***** foreign as you can get, I bet even he knows how to spell 'tumor'. What's your excuse? Automatic Firefox spell-checker too hard to operate?
      • bluezinc, on 07/16/2008, -1/+3You're not even a spelling Nazi, you're spelling Hitler himself!!
      • ayeroxor, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1Aww, thanks :)

    • Robcn643, on 07/16/2008, -0/+0GET DOWN...... GET DOWN AGAIN!!!
  • FuckingCotter, on 07/15/2008, -4/+16"Dr. George Tsai of St. Charles Medical Center-Redmond said he was shocked by the size of the tumor."

    No *****. What a great way to end the article.
    • sayoshinn, on 07/16/2008, -1/+1It didn't end the article...there's a break in it for ads, just scroll down a couple inches
  • pintomp3, on 07/16/2008, -0/+23she got a divorce?
    • Darmichar, on 07/16/2008, -0/+3I was going to work the "Kicked her son out of the basement?" angle, but it's all good in the end.
  • fata55, on 07/16/2008, -2/+8I wish there was a picture.
  • ferrell, on 07/16/2008, -10/+39I just got a 140lb tumor removed.

    The bitch got the house, though.
  • FullmetalGinta, on 07/16/2008, -11/+1Why did this make frontpage?
  • sayoshinn, on 07/16/2008, -6/+0If your a doctor and you miss a 140 POUND TUMOR you need to find a new profession.

    *At the office water cooler*...."Yea yea (giggles) thats the doctor that missed a tumor the size of an oven in a lady. pffff (more giggles)"
    • ayeroxor, on 07/16/2008, -1/+7If you're above age 15 and yet you still can't figure out what this whole "difference between your and you're" thing is all about, you need to get a ***** clue.
      • TWiThead, on 07/16/2008, -0/+4According to sayoshinn's profile, he's a "A 22 year-old dude from Buffalo, NY (US)."

        Age 15 is quite generous; that's something that a nine-year-old native English speaker should know.
  • geobay, on 07/16/2008, -1/+19Which one of you moved out of her basement?
  • SmellyFingers, on 07/16/2008, -4/+3wut
  • oorofl, on 07/16/2008, -0/+9man there needs to pics of the tumor
    and i'm afraid of looking up 140-pound tumor on google images
    • antdude, on 07/16/2008, -3/+2Or just watch Grey's Anatomy or some other medical shows.
  • Xihix, on 07/16/2008, -7/+3She still needs to lose weight. Just saying.
  • Jennica, on 07/16/2008, -1/+2Reminds of that joke on the Sopranos about Ginny Sack.
  • ayeroxor, on 07/16/2008, -6/+4How is this any more impressive than when that guy had a 140-pound tumor removed?

    But enough about Paul McCartney!
  • ruddy, on 07/16/2008, -1/+7how exactly does that sneak up on you...
    • geekswife, on 07/16/2008, -0/+2It looked like she was just getting fat, that's how. When you're fat, you're fat. Even medical professionals disregard you as someone with no self-control who's eating themselves to death. I feel so sorry for this woman. Not only for having a cancer scare, but for the years of being looked down upon and snubbed for her weight, when it wasn't her fault.
  • RyomaNagare, on 07/16/2008, -1/+8I know living in your parents basement might be a burden, but calling a fellow digger a tumor its just a little too much
  • rl41, on 07/16/2008, -9/+4Tumors are the new "big bones" now, the ultimate excuse for not losing weight and gaining pity at the same time.
  • str1fe, on 07/16/2008, -7/+5om nom nom nom
  • anononon, on 07/16/2008, -5/+9Pics of the tumor? No? It didn't happen.
  • plundstedt, on 07/16/2008, -0/+5Why do news columns always spell it Ore., instead of the accepted abbreviation of OR.
  • shayne8181, on 07/16/2008, -3/+5Photoshopped
  • mayra1201, on 07/16/2008, -1/+7You can't have an article like that and no show a picture! Come on MSNBC, we can handle it!
  • yourpalOZ, on 07/16/2008, -5/+1EXLAX
  • nokaagnew, on 07/16/2008, -1/+2This is incredible; too bad this article is horrible. No mention of the woman's weight?
  • charlietuna, on 07/16/2008, -5/+3That's enough flesh for about 560 1/4 pounders with cheese.
  • Khanvalescent, on 07/16/2008, -6/+2I think they forgot to remove the woman too.
  • spankr, on 07/16/2008, -2/+4Pics or it didn't happen.
  • benroy, on 07/16/2008, -1/+4I weigh 140 Lbs.
    The thought of a mass the size of my person could be concealed inside another human being without their knowledge makes me feel a little...insignificant.
    I'm going to go exercise and eat some red mead now.
  • googs2, on 07/16/2008, -1/+2I'm pretty sure I watched this in an episode of greys anatomy...
  • bigthink, on 07/16/2008, -2/+1I thought they were gonna say her 30 year old deadbeat loser son finally moved outa the house.
  • tikited, on 07/16/2008, -2/+1Wait a minute they say 1 of your kidney was damaged, I think they stole her kidney. If my kidney was damaged then put it in a sealed container why let them keep it in there secret garbage. Rember Rocko modern life, well he kept his kidney and buried it.
  • warholsbluecat, on 07/16/2008, -2/+2I'm a tumor I'm a tumor I'm a tumor I'm a tumor...
  • Pramma, on 07/16/2008, -2/+0Now let's see that 530 lb girl loss a 400 pound tumor...
  • randomstupid, on 07/16/2008, -2/+1tumors are the new black .
  • ikrit2006, on 07/16/2008, -2/+2"The other kidney was so damaged in surgery that it couldn’t be saved, doctors told Rittenbach."

    Did they accidentally put it in the microwave instead of a baked potato?
  • mwalker05, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1im not a kid, im a tumor.
  • gnixon70, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1Wasn't this an episode on House?
  • CouchTomato, on 07/20/2008, -0/+1I hope she donated those tumor cells for cancer research. Interesting that despite it being that big it didnt kill her through metastasis.
