Unknown Disease Causes Woman's Legs to Grow Meteorically (and you thought the Freshman 15 was bad...)
Worried about gaining the Freshman 15? Don't be: an expanding waist line pales in comparison to the struggle of Mandy Sellars, who suffers an unknown disease akin to Proteus Syndrome due to leg expansion.

Doctors believe her disease may be related to Proteus Syndrome, the condition made famous by the Elephant Man.

Superbad and Pineapple Express fans have something to pray about! There's a small possibility the two best summer comedies of 2007 and 2008 might come together for a crossover sequel. I stress the word small however.
Back in 2007, Superbad writer and star Seth Rogen was asked about a po
