The "Tree Man"

If you're extremely easily disturbed, might not want to click it, but if you want to see something interesting, do so!

A guy who has fucking TREES FOR HANDS. I'm not even kidding.

I actually think this is the coolest thing I've seen today.

I saw this on TV a couple of months ago. Apparently he can remove them but he doesn't want to because he's earning money from them.

If you follow the link you can see "The man with no face", damn, that guy is even worse off than the Tree Man, IMO.

He's crazy or something that is similar to a crazy person.

I've seen worse in a psychology textbook.

The chapter was called Eating Disorders.

Wow, these things are amazing.

I guess, I wouldn't like to remove this if I was this guy too. Such root hands and feet look pretty cool.
I'm jealous. :]

Oh yeah. Forgot to mention, if the growths aren't removed, they'll eventually spread all over his body.

would he become a real live ent?

on a more serious note, would they kill him if they are left even longer unchecked?

I reckon it'd kill him. A hospital even gave him the choice to have surgery done, and he turned it down.

Is anyone else uncomfortable with this sort of voyeurism?

Wings of Fire · #11 02-08-2008, 01:23 PM

Yes, I find it a disgusting part of human nature.

These people need to be helped, not gawped at. (I myself am uncomfortable using the phrase 'these people')

HOHOHOHOOOO!
What in any way did that article imply that he had a mental disorder? Just cause he has tree extremities doesn't mean he likes to kill people then dance in their feces. You freak.

Bullet Magnet · #13 02-09-2008, 03:46 PM

I think he was referring to his choice of not having them removed.

Anonyman! · #14 02-09-2008, 03:50 PM

...
So...

Really now, the decision to keep those beauties is not coming from insanity, but human stupidity. I thinks.

Bullet Magnet · #15 02-09-2008, 05:50 PM

I thought you had misunderstood him, that doesn't mean I think he's right.

lol I didn't mean to be mean or anything. That last post was in a sarcastic manner, and I know it is hard to detect that when it's typed. Sorry for any unfortunate miscommunication.

I can still safely say AIN is still having difficulty in reaching his desired effect in his speech. Please, learn English as you look like a retarded orphan walrus rolling in his own droppings while singing various Jazz songs when you use the babelfish.

The good old humble Victorian freak show, a glorious thing. Anyway, this man has got a semi-career off the back of his condition! He seems to love this voyeurism, it pays the bills.

I read about this in a cheapo lady-mag months ago and was just revolted by it. I couldn't stop looking at it. Freaks me out but fascinates. Like the inside of a crumpet. *shivers*

skillyaslig · #18 02-12-2008, 06:03 PM

wow, that is just creepy! Why didn't he prune them? Hmm, wonder if he flowers in spring or somethin' weird like that XD
