[LINK] O/T health information

[Adam Todd]

My wife and I have the opposite problem.  We burn so many calories in the 
court room and preparing for court each week, we've been loosing weight.

Half the problem is a really good diet that is suitable for a "normal" 
lifestyle.  Even introducing the last six months, deep fried foods hasn't 
helped.  But then Canola oil is not unhealthy in normal consumption, as is 
the same with olive oil.

My problem is I can't stand fast foods and processed foods.  So I can't eat 
them, so I guess I'm destined to loose more weight because my healthy food 
intake isn't adequate for the metabolic processing :(

As to living to 100, I'd be happy if my father didn't make his next 
birthday, and so would a lot of other people who have been affected by 
him.  He was suppose to die of Rectal Cancer (what a pain in the bum huh!) 
in March this year, according to his Affidavit of September 2005.  However, 
that time has passed and he's not eaten by cancer yet :(

In fact he's quite healthy, he's attended ALL my court appearances since 
March this year, even the ones he's not involved in at all.

I've been told to identify him to the registrars and Judges on the record 
now, they feel there is something very strange going on as to why he's 
turning up just to my proceedings.

I guess, his diet, must be an cancer cure.  Maybe we should dissect him now 
before his body breaks down?  He did give his body to Sydney Uni in his 
will, (I presume that's still relevant) maybe they can take him now, 
dissect him, find a cure for cancer and we can all live longer lives from 
the one good thing he did.
