First "Big-Boned" skeleton discovered
Egyptologists today revealed details of what is believed to be the first example of a ‘big-boned’ skeleton ever discovered. The ‘big-boned’ phenomenon is one that has mystified physicians for decades since despite the millions of apparent sufferers, no skeletons have ever been found."We were researching the mummy of an ancient Egyptian Princess Tentopet, from the time of Ramesses ‘The Great’. When we produced a computer reconstruction of her skeleton, we were quite surprised by the findings," explained Dr. Bill Billingsworth of the Sidcup Centre of Pantheonic Studies. "That Tentopet was of slightly above average height is to be expected as she would have had the better diet of royalty. However she also exhibits wider and thicker hips, thighs and upper arms, whilst the rest of her skeleton is of average dimensions."
The team hopes that their discovery will provide information for the millions of people said to be suffering from ‘big bones’.
Found with Tentopet where a number of fragile papyrus documents that the team has spent the last three years deciphering."There is a catalogue of the beasts of the kingdom along with the plants of her farms. Each animal and plant has been given a value," explained Dr Bill Billingsworth. "We think it is some sort of religion based on eating certain combinations of animals, or attaining a certain total. One translation of the document title is the ‘Lexicon of the Heaviness Observers’."
Entombed with Tentopet were several documents describing her reign and include details of a ceremonial weekly weigh-in for all of her female subjects involving the chant ‘No matter what, we can’t lose weight."
However it is the remarkable skeleton that has excited the team the most as their subsequent research reveals it to be a unique specimen.
"We have checked medical records, autopsy reports, and neither ancient specimens nor modern records have ever documented a genuine ‘big-boned’ human skeleton, until now," said Dr. Billingsworth. "Although they are quite common in pigs," he added.

My best friend is "'big boned'" so to speak.
this one's for the people that think of the world "as it should be".
BULL$#!T!!! YOU LITTLE ****ERS! LAY OFF THE MOTHERF***ING 'FAT' CRAP! YOU HAVE NO HEARTS!
and in response to the article.. thats pretty interesting. i wonder though if they could have looked thin even though their bones were big..
I have to say I find this comment very offensive, fair enough if you are overweight through over eating, but due to a long term illness I was put on a large dose of steroids (not anabolic). This caused my weight to ballon up from 12 to 16 stone in a matter of months(and yes I play football (soccer)and train every week and eat reasonably healthly). People like you are very ignorant and comments like "however big you are, its your own fault" are very upsetting to people that are larger through illness rather than through thier own overeating. Ill ask you a question would you assume that a man/woman in a wheelchair was there because "its thier own fault", no? so why tar every fat person with that brush?
Sorry for the rant but its comments like these that make my illness even harder to cope with.
and about overweight people, you can help it. it might ust take longer to lose than it takes others.
If they had normal-built frames, they'd break them in an instant.
i thought they killed Kenny
LOL :P
Yes, they are ligit. Ever heard of genetics? I get my big bones from my mom's side of the family. I'm not overweight, so I'm not using big bones as an excuse. But there are big-boned people out there. My wrists are larger than my dad's, and he doesn't have small wrists or anything like that. Stop being so ignorant . . . many of you are all so prejudiced that you can't see that some of the larger people out there are truly in healthy shape, and just have large bones.
You might be offended by people calling you fat, but what about the slim people you call anorexic? At least MY heart hasn't got fat crushing it, because i keep my weight down. You w**kers.
Slim down and shut up. Recite that every morning and you are sorted... slim down and shut up. slim down and shut up....
Now onto the business.

Ok.. to all you assholes who keep talking about "fat" people eating junk food: its amazing that you only say that to larger people. because ive seen PLENTY of skinny people eat just as much or even more garbage.
I completely agree. I'm skinny as all hell and I eat junk-food everyday yet my friend is the healthiest woman in the world and walks god only knows how many kilometers a day, goes to gym for three hours every day and eats right- she is strictly against junk-food as she does not want to set a bad example for her three children. But, even after all of this she can't lose the weight she's had since as far back as she can remember.
Now, can y'all please get back on track? This is an amazing scientific discovery and it might really matter for some people who want to comment but this webpage is so full of fat and yo' jokes that they really cannot be bothered to. Next time y'all should think before spamming a comment board.
And as for fat people - stop whining. If you eat less and do more exercise you will lose weight. Simple as that. Fat people don't defy the laws of physics.
(although not all you yanks believe in the laws of science, do you - primitive fairy stories from the Middle East are more your bag...)
We have no need for petty squabbling. Slimmer people, please stop insulting fat people, it is not always entirely their fault, and if that's the lifestyle you've led for so long, it is very hard to change it. On the same token, fat people, stop insulting slimmer people, because no matter how much you try and insult them, call them anorexic or some such, the fact remains that you are the size you are until you change it.
I wonder how many people will actually read this and think for a second... If this changes the mind of one person even slightly, it will have been worth writing.
"While I agree that some are at fault for their own weight problem, I also agree with others just can't help it no matter how hard they try. So saying, there's nothing wrong with a little pudge. It gives the world's people a differing uniqueness, and it's fun to snuggle :P"
Thank you for posting that.
But you know, I was kind of drifting for years, but now it's so good to see a Princess had this big boned problem too. Her figure looks just so totally like mine, and I like just soooo can't shift the weight. That's why I don't go running.
now don't think i'm hating on the fat people...i'm overweight too, but i actually take some responsibility for my weight and try to eat right and run 3 miles a day, you know, taking the initiative...people who like to use scapegoats and blame others or "outside factors" on being fat are irritating because you dont get off your ass and try to do something about it. yes yes, more blanket statements from the insensitive fool that i am, but stereotypes have to come from somewhere...
oh and why the hell are all the thin people getting upset when people refer to them as thin??? that would be like the biggest compliment ever if someone called me that...and what the hell do you have to be pissy about when it comes to YOUR weight?
There is a difference here peeps!!!
someone who has big bones can be skinny... it's the meat on the bones that worry me!
Big bones dont roll up on ur stomach when u sit down and they dont wobble when u move. But if people wanna believe and eat a pie rather than go out for a walk, good luck to them i say.
I am confused.
I have had my guy friends tell me that I look like I weigh 140, when I actually am 180....that's a 40 pound difference people. And some were shocked to find out that i weighed more. I have never been called and none of my family or friends have ever called me fat. One guy friend actually poked my ribs n realized that i was actually big boned.
I am sorry if i can't be as skinny as those girls in the magazines, but "hey, God made me different".
184 weigth i am big boned compared to my friends even the fat and skinny i am tall the healthy average for my heigth is 164
so im 20 over so what i aint scarny im built tougth u hit me il hit ya till it hurts ur going down not me so shut up if you think its genetic or big boned its all based on luck either your high metabolism or not so shut up when im speaking to u jerk.
LOL.
AT LEAST THEY HAVE CURVES!
Skinny ass folk are fucking flat chested and usually have no ass.
Skinny folk have no brains cause they always fucking starve their asses up thinking OMG I'm FAT111111111!
Another note yes people get fat by being lazy. eating too much etc.
BUT! For some it's carried down in genetics.
Like those cute really pudgy babies have a bigger change of getting and staying obese.
I mean really you guys want to fuck some anorexic chick or a girl with some hips and breats?
Anyway fat only became out in the recent centuries.
If it were like back then you skinny ass people would never get a man. :P
If you want to go by sterotypes I could say this about skinny people.
They starve themselves.
They are very shallow.
They have no brains.
Most are blonds.
They have no boobs.
They have no ass.
Yeah.... :P
When they hit 30 they're gonna get fucking huge cause their metabolism's gonna die on them.
so really, wen u notice "big boned" part, it doesnt mean ur fat lol. ridiculous i cant believe u guys dont know what big boned is.
and u guys who insult ppl that are fat are just stupid. seroiusly get a life, nobody cares about what u guys think, this is about a big boned skeleton that they first discovered, and what first comes up to your mind is fat? pathetic
So i'll just say nice one, instead.
I'm 5'3" and 115 pounds. My hip bones and ribs are visible, but not in an unhealthy way. I have broad shoulders and a wide rib cage. If you put me next to a Japanese girl of the same height, and we were both 100 pounds, she'd probably look fine, and I'd look anorexic.
In order to go below this weight, I'd have to eat next to nothing on a daily basis. Some people have better bodies, some worse. There are people my height who, under the same conditions, can go below 90, and people who can't get under 130.
Quit prejudging people. That "fat fuck" could be trying their hardest to lose weight, or even be healthier than you are, and just happen to be huskier. I know people twice my weight who could beat me in athletics.
I just hate to see people my weight sitting back, smoking, stuffing their faces with Mickey D's, and halfway to a heart attack, criticizing fat people.
