I don’t know about you, but when I get ill I usually like to moan about it a lot; but maybe we should all thank our lucky stars that most of us only come down with the occasional cold, because there are much worse options out there.


As you read this list of weird, freaky diseases, spare a thought for those suffering with them and be thankful that the majority of ailments you’ll ever have can be cured with some antibiotics and bed rest.



1- Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva.

That’s what a skeleton looks like when every bone has been fused together. This terrifying disease is also known as stone man syndrome; it’s one of the rarest conditions known to the medical world and there is no cure. The condition is caused by a mutation in the body’s repair mechanism that causes all damaged tissue to be replaced with a bone like substance. Any trauma to the body causes muscle, ligaments and tendons to be replaced with bone.



2- Tree Man Syndrome.

The official name for this condition is Epidermodysplasia verruciformis, but it is more commonly known as tree man syndrome due to the bark like appearance of the lesions it causes. People with this condition have skin that constantly produces scaly papules due to a hypersensitivity to HVP infections. These infections are present in 80% of all humans but our immune systems deal with them easily with no symptoms.


3- Hypertrichosis, “Werewolf Syndrome”.

Werewolf Syndrome causes uncontrollable growth of hair in most areas of the body. The condition is usually genetic and visible by early adolescence; however there have been cases where werewolf syndrome was induced by the use of hair growth products, so be careful what you wish for.


4- Progeria.

This is what a person looks like when they age 5 times faster than normal; the boy in this photo is only a child. The appearance of people with progeria can be described as small, wrinkled, and hairless with a frail, weak body and large head. Studies have shown that a person with progeria will have the body in a similar condition to that of an 80 year old by the time they are 15! People born with progeria rarely live past their early 20’s as their internal organs cease to function. Scarily, the condition is caused by a random genetic mutation, meaning anyone could potentially have a child with the affliction; fortunately there are only known cases in the world right now, so the chances are pretty slim. Researchers are hopeful that by understanding this condition they can unlock the secrets of the aging process.

What's with Ladies and 50k?


Is their love now auctioned for #50,000?


Same amount one asked me last week after spending the previous weekend at my place...

Haa! Initialize! Wind don blow and your yansh don open!

etibaba:
"My God, my God, why have you forsaken
me?"

That one should be Mourinho's lamentation not mine.


You know what pains me most in the whole 'ish', our team has been on a downward spiral for about 2yrs now. Yet, this so-called useless one abi na senseless one didn't notice. Hian? Just toying with people's emotion!

M4gunners:
You can join us in our lovely and progressive gunners family. We will not disappoint you all.So you are highly welcome with an open arm.

Arsenal kwa? I'd rather stop watching football than support a team like Arsenal. Perennial failures!

vislabraye:
Before it is finished, there is Eli eli lama sabatani.

Meaning please? Or are you trying to add salt to my injury?

'It is finished!' Jesus last words on the cross.


At this juncture, I hereby delist myself from Chelsea fan's register until Mourinho leaves. I can't take it any more.

Someone should please remind Arsenal fans of Jesus last words on the cross; 'It is finished!'

ravensckar:
Boss! Here I am hailing you o! Was waiting for all the combatants to cease fire before commenting. You know it's not a good thing to do business in the middle of a major battle.


Anyways, kudos to all of you for mediating peace between all the warring parties. Gone are the days when Evathyst listens to me. Now, she has gone wild.


So because Floyd Mayweather made a whopping $180m in a fight with Manny Pacquiao, you people think 'fighting business' has become profitable abi? God is watching all of you in 3D.


Aunty Avicky, e ku ise ilu o! Oluwa a ma s'agbara dotun o! Lolz!

Aw darling! You know I always listen to you nau

Even you of all people doesn't understand me again?

artisticallyart:
I am so sorry for the way I spoke about you(Avicky and Evathyst) in the heat of things. My comments were very insensitive and I know they must have hurt you. I hope you will forgive me and try to understand how something like this might happen when I open my big mouth. The trouble is, I tend to speak sarcastically even when my audience might be apt to take me literally. I hope you will believe what you hear me say instead of what you read. Our relationship is very valuable to me. I hope you will allow me to make this up to you.
Your e-friend,
Artisticallyart.

If anyone thinks I take whatever insult someone dishes at me (during an e-fght) personally, then, the person doesn't know jack about me. It's just my own way of having fun!


I enjoy e-fighting a lot!


Issorait bro, I was never angry with you. You're still my niggar!

avicky:
I appreciate the two August visitors from romance land and the yeye of literature.

Aunty Vicky, na so you get mouth reach?

Let it go, you are a bigger person than this. I believe you have made your point so show that you are the better person and move on.

An albino can never enter the market unnoticed. Your skills in hiding posts are always profound. The moment you graced this thread posts have started hiding.

Why? Of all people, you? This is unprofessionalism at the highest order.

Was she 'professional' when she was hurling insults at my dear friend? Oh! I see! She's the only one that has the monopoly of insults abi?


Please ehn, shove that your 'professionalism' ideology down your As*, ion give a hoot!

Sunnypar:
Finally, we have someone that can stand her. Thank you for giving it back to her in her own coin.

Do you know anything that is worse than 'idleness?'. It's being a 'woman wrapper.


I'm sure you'll be the President of your compound's association of GOSSIPS. So much for a man! Shior!

fumstar:

Ochillary:
