Dead obese woman sets fire to crematorium

The US is still the fattest developed country.

People weighing in excess of 400lbs is more common than you seem to think.

And your final point about it being an uncommon occurrence kinda contradicts your previous statement that it's 'not rare in Germany'.

It's uncommon over in Germany, but not Rare. If you're hanging out here, you should be a gamer, and if you're a gamer, then you have NO excuse to not know the difference between Uncommon and Rare.

That's awful... and amazing at the same time.

Im trying to imagine some of the people I know and live in my area. I'm now becoming worried for the crematoriums in my area. Oo

I can't believe no one's thought of this yet. I bet she had a huge arse-onist.

These jokes really aren't setting the world on fire, guys. Time to smother this, I think.

If you can't stand the heat, get out of the oven.

I remember a 350-pound-guy telling me that when he had to undergo a CT scan for his cancer diagnosis, he didn't fit onto the regular CT machine at the local hospital, so he had to use one designed for horses at the veterinary clinic (to be fair, the guy was not just fat, but also generally a pretty big person).
This also happened in Austria, the same country as in the original story, so maybe our medical facilities just aren't cut out for this new obesity craze that's been sweeping the country from across the Atlantic.

On a sidenote, this would be where my favorite corpse disposal method really shines: The Tibetan sky burial: You take the naked corpse, slice up the flesh a bit, wait for vultures to pick the bones clean, chop up the bones to free up the marrow, wait for the vultures to eat that, and voilá - your edible biomass has been poetically returned to the circle of life.

God there's no need to get so burnt up about it...

I'll get my coat.

How dare you! This is a very hot, dead woman we're talking about! You know it's not just her sinuses that flare up a lot you know. It's cruel, just plain cruel to make such puns with burning passion about situations like this.

...I make terrible puns. I suck at this. You can kill me now.

I don't know, judging by the story, it probably wouldn't have hurt her to burn some calories.
[sub] I'll show myself out [/sub]
But seriously, people need to exercise more.

Your coat better be flame retardant and stocked with a gas mask.
