brenden adams

The giant boy who had all of his teeth when he was 4 months old
ABC-TV's Medical Mysteries show Tuesday night was about Brenden Adams, 12, who is huge, and doctors couldn't figure out why he grew so fast. Four yrs ago, they discovered a chromosomal abnormality (perhaps the only one yet found in anyone) that allows unrestrained growth. They slowed Brenden down a bit with massive testosterone therapy, but he's still a medical handful. [Ed.: They really can't explain the chromosome screwup? Here's a clue: He lives in Ellensburg, Wash., about 30 miles from the massive Hanford nuclear dump. Duh-uh.] ABC News

Now, I've read enough Marvel comics to know that this kid was clearly bitten by a radioactive giraffe. Get with the program, people.

I am curious as to how big he was at birth. I imagine his mother probably still feels it.

Not that all this reactionism isn't terribly entertaining, but can we get back on topic? Namely, making fun of some innocent kid who's going to be stuck paying through the nose for custom jeans.
