132 Pound Tumor Removed From Obese Woman

That's one way to drop a quick buck thirty-two:

Although weighing as much as a normal adult woman by itself, the tumour was less than half the size of the largest ever recorded to be removed intact.

In 1991, a surgeon at California's Stanford University Medical Center removed a multicystic ovarian mass weighing 302 pounds (138 kilograms), which Guinness World Records holds to be the biggest ever.

The woman survived and, according to Guinness World Records, she "left the operating theater on one stretcher and the cyst left on another."

In related news, the Democratic Party has just announced its new "message coordinator," having the responsbilities of crafting a unified coherent Democratic position on Iraq -- a 302 pound multicystic ovarian mass.

"I can't wait to get out there and finally start giving the people the hope and concrete solutions they crave," the 302 pound multicystic ovarian mass was quoted as saying.

The mass is expected to "work closely" with Chris Lehane. It is believed this will be his first encounter with anything having to do with ovaries.

Thanks to Jack "Slublog" Straw.
