#2 C'mon, learn something from programmers -- break the problem into smaller tasks, then deal with it piece by piece.

#3 Maybe the Alameda County coroner's office should invest in a slightly bigger vehicle. My suggestion? One of these.

#4 700-pound Oakland man, who died of natural causes
I don't know what he died of, but it damn sure wasn't natural.

#5 why should they have too buy a bigger fat mobile?
Maybe some of these fatasses should consider losing some weight

#7 Granted I need to go on a diet but the guys already dead. Just fire up the chain saw, trust me he won't feel a thing

#8 Chain Saw? Cheddarhead remember to use a high rez. B&W for the fotos, and keep them tasteful.

#10 I'm with ya', Chuck. We've had to call the fire department (2 engines or a ladder truck, in some cases) more than once both to get them out of the house and to unload at the hospital. And God help us if they're on the second floor.

The stretchers won't hold more than 500 pounds, and shouldn't hold that much. It's a real problem, and grossly obese people are more likely to have major medical problems, so are more likely to call us than to go to the hospital by private vehicle.

I'm overweight myself, but that's just ridiculous.

#11 Apparently these guys haven't seen the "dead horse with rigor in Dean Wormer's office" in Animal House? Cheddar's on the money
