Weird News of the Day!!
World's Biggest Man Boobs Are No More!
53-year-old Guo Qingpo of China used to hold the record for world's largest man boobs! Fortunately for him, he's enjoying a new lease of life after an operation to remove them. Guo said prior to the surgery he had ended a ten year nightmare. For many years he refused to leave his home after people labeled him a freak or falsely accused him of undergoing transgender surgery. He explained, "About ten years ago, I first noticed my breasts were larger than other men's but I just thought I was putting on weight and didn't pay much attention. Then about two years ago they began to grow outrageously until they were as big as footballs. People would stare at me wherever I went." Doctor Zhang Jianhua, who performed the surgery said, "I had never seen anything like it in 40 years. There has never been such a case in China, or anywhere in the world." Experts believe Guo suffered from lipodystrophy syndrome, a metabolic condition which involves the abnormal distribution of fat around the body. (Ananova)
