I have what seems to be an inner tube under my skin, around the waist-area. Doctors attribute it to drinking too much beer. I don't buy that, because my mother has the same condition and she doesn't even like beer.
More uncommon: my eyes seem to immediately focus on every written spelling error they see. I'm not even looking for them, it's just like there are eye-magnets inside, and every time my brains yells "There's one!" and then moves on. It's really hard to watch a movie with unofficial subtitles like that.
If you find out how to cure that inner tube, tell me. All the women on one side of my family have it, too. Doesn't help whilst swimming, either.
OT: Erm... not sure. I've worn green tinted contacts for the last 16+ years so people think my eyes are green, but they're actually grey/blue. I had my appendix out when I was 11, so I now have a scar that's like 8 inches long and half an inch wide from stretching. ... Really wide feet?
... Actually most people don't believe I weigh what I do. I'm 5'7" and wide shouldered and normally proportioned (I don't have a big tummy and little legs, etc, everything on me is proportional to the rest of me, fat head included) and wear a size 18.... 16 if I've been good (general size XL, or 1X, I can shop in normal stores for clothes), but I weigh 260-270lbs. Really. I can walk/run/climb stairs normally (aside from my knee that I injured a couple months ago), do yoga, eat reasonably healthy (but large protions), and use a treadmill (but not enough).
For reference, Adele is about a size 14. And shorter and narrower than me.
I guess I've got really dense bones, and the muscle you build from being big since childhood helps too. Not to say I'm healthy - I do need to lose weight as I'm 30 soon and things are starting to hurt.
