I saw this on Discovery Channel and was quite shocked.

This is REAL.

Was I the only one anticipating whether on the doctor's arrival he would try and shake the guy's hand?

Imagine if it went viral and inflicted the entire world. Shocked

He can still smoke I see...

That guy has some serious wood.

If his children are 'normal', we can be glad the apples fell far from the tree.

Seriously, though, hope they can do SOMETHING for him. I can't imagine how much living like that must feel.
