Okay, this is ultra-sick. I have to post it so I can stop thinking about it. It may be OLD NEWS and if so, sorry. But GAH. Seriously, don't click this if you have a weak stomach.

I've seen a television show where this guy was featured. It's quite disturbing.

Yea, I saw this on TV a while back, creepy.

I've seen this before... and I never have understood how anyone could get this... it almost looks like a spell from a kids fairytale story.

I remember watching this on TV. The Indonesian government didn't give a crap about him until they realized they were going to be shown up by the U.S., so they dragged him into a hospital to perform surgery, all the while complaining about how the U.S. wouldn't send them his medical records while, in reality, the U.S. doctor was desperately trying to tell them that he needed vitamin treatment and that surgery would only get rid of the existing symptoms and do nothing to prevent them from growing back.

Glad to see he eventually got the treatment he needed.

Actually I think they said that's what it was during the TV special on the guy. It's been a couple months since I've seen it though, so my memory be :downswords: right now.

No, HPV is the virus that, among other things, causes warts. Onimusha is just an idiot.

Yes, HPV is what the guy has. And yes, Onimushi is an idiot.

If you've ever had a wart, you still have HPV.

So everyone with warts is a carrier for HPV??
2008-12-23, 5:33 AM #22
Not exactly. There are hundreds of strains if I'm remembering this correctly. Only a small handful of the strains are known to cause warts, and most instances of HPV run their course within 2 years and the body takes care of the problem.

I once had a girl claim that I gave her HPV after my penis was in her mouth for 5 seconds. She was livid. "YOU TOLD ME YOU WERE CLEAN! I TRUSTED YOU. IT COULD HAVE BEEN 5 OTHER GUYS BUT I KNOW IT WAS YOU!"

and that's when I *click*

Like Oral Herpes, an amazing percentage of the population has some strain of HPV or another.

Actually the idiots are all of you who couldn't see past the joke of relating it to the STD and instead felt like being elitist and going "OMFG YU ARZ SO RONGG AN RETRDAD!!!1!!!!" because of your own short sightedness.

Like I said before, "duh" no ****ing **** that HPV is relative to more then just genital worts.

Or its just irritating how everyone has to be an argumentative elitist about every topic on these forums, and in turn degrade someone else in order to make them feel all knowing.

He recently got most of the warts removed, and is now on a simple diet that causes them to not grow back. He should eventually be able to get 100% of the growths removed, and should get to relative efficiency soon after that. Many of his muscles and tendons are completely disintegrated, and he will have minor mobility and strength issues for the rest of his life. He actually ends up looking pretty handsome without the growths on his face, and has had success with women apparently.

I still want to know if there is any growths on his manparts or butt, and how that effected cleaning and bathrooming.

His name is Bob, but I think it's funny to call him Herbert.
