Half-man, Half-tree

Note, coming much too late, for anyone who hasn't clicked this link yet: The photos are disturbing. The man's extremities are covered in root-like growths. It is an unbelievable and, apparently for some people I know, nauseating sight. Just look at this poor guy. Apparently he's featured in a show on the Discovery Channel tonight at 9. I'd like to watch it... but my stupid Thursday shows are going to get in the way. I've always had a fascination with medical mysteries. Especially ones with happy endings.
