Half Man, Half Tree! (WARNING: SERIOUSLY GRUESOME)

[Cricketman]

Is this even real? Photoshop works wonders you know...

 

[King Pietersen]

Yeh it is real, I remember seeing news stories about it a while ago. There are a couple of people that have had it.

 

[Highlander999]

IIRC, it is a fungal infection a bit like athlete's foot

 

[Will_NA]

God, you lot are late with this. I saw a documentary over a year ago.

 

[Themer]

They are just your run of the mill warts but his body's immune system cannot kill off the disease/virus as normal peoples would so they continue to grow and grow. He's had his hand "horns" cut off now and most removed from his face and body but they grow back as his body can't get rid of them. He's now on chemotherapy to get rid of the disease permanently. Twas on a documentary last week.

 

[Dr. Pepper]

Poor guy , feel really sorry for him.

 

[Kshitiz_Indian]

Woah, talk about over-reacting to something. Sure, it's a pretty disturbing looking disease, but to say it's ruined your day is taking it abit far. I'd have thought Sachin failing to convert another hundred would have ruined your day more

Back to Treeman though, if Karl Pilkington saw this he'd definitely be the Cheeky Freak of the Week. He was in amazement when he heard about a "Half Man Half Biscuit" only to discover it was a band, so Half Man Half Tree would have him amazed.

I was just playing along with what the above two posters said!

 

[King Cricket]

It was quite a freaky pictue. And it really scared me. Anyway, I feel sorry for the guy, isn't there any cure for this disease?

 

[Master Khan]

I heard about this guy like a year ago.
his is better now...well kind of

 

[Jakester1288]

Pretty gruesome, but old news.

I heard about this guy like a year ago.
his is better now...well kind of

Look at the bloke in the background having a look at him.

 

[Leggie]

Well that is a significant improvement.

 

[usy]

Well it’s still outrageous.


Mother Nature.

 

[Cricketdude]

Sean made a thread of this about a year or two ago. This guy now works on the farm. It was on tv.

 

[Roofrom50]

All the people that are saying it's grusome and disgusting should take a look, and think about what mother nature does to the world. This is a natural disease, so get over it.

I feel sorry for the bloke, and the rest of the people who have the disease

@usy: Great user-title spill over.

Ahh, looks better than previous and also he has had his haircut.
