Never knew of such a thing. Amazing. Imagine if a human was entirely blaoted that way. You'd have The Incredible Hulk. Thing is, if you can't do anything with 11 stone legs, so amputating really is the only ticket to freedom - no other.

I'm kind of disappointed...I was expecting some awesome fanart of an 11-legged Colossus or something. :P

And jeez, that would really suck.

I was expecting some kind of statue.

Where in the hell would she buy her clothes? :?

That would be the "16 giant stone statues o' doom" type of Colossus, not the "giant squirt gun o' doom" variety. :P

poor kid... Imagine 35 years old, after years of suffering with this, now they are going to have to remove her legs... and she is looking forward to that!

I thought she was 32. She seems small in the picture, compare to the reporter.
