    A company called Humanetics is now making obese crash-test dummies to better reflect the average size of a human being. The current models were made in the 1980s, when the average human weighed only 170 pounds, Today, that figure has climbed to a startling 273 pounds, which the new crash-test dummy reflects.

    I was at my diabetes clinic the other week and they now have giant chairs delivered for the waiting room. I'm a fairly large chap and I sat in one for a laugh. I looked like a kid sat in a grown up chair. Unbelievable !
