story

An obese woman was freed ten hours after becoming trapped in a narrow passage in the Cango Caves, the Oudtshoorn metro said on Monday night.

"Normally guides tell people: 'If you are too big or small you can't go in.' I don't know why she went in there," said an unnamed spokesperson.

The woman was "fine", she said.

She was not taken to hospital.

Another 22 people were trapped with the woman in the tunnel more than a kilometre into the caves, reported SABC radio news.

They included a diabetic man to whom medication had to be taken.

A rescue team from George was understood to have cut away a part of the cave to free the woman after initial attempts to get her out failed.

Freakin' funny. I couldn't believe I heard this on SAFM as the top news story!
 
I heard on the radio that this tunnel has something to do with love? please help, I'm lost. If so what the hell is an obese woman doing in the love tunnel? just want to know, no offence to fat gifted women.
 
She got a whole lotta lovin' goin' on :D

Honestly, I don't see why fat people shouldn't be seen in the same light as others wrt love. It's just another body shape. I weigh 50, and that's pretty freakish too, yet somehow I'm more acceptable as a mate...

There's a *very* rude joke about that, but here 'n now isn't the place!

'cos, from a procreation/genetic legacy standpoint obesity isn't a good choice. Of course, if ALL you have is somewhat to morbidly obese to choose from (by, say, living in the States) you have to recalibrate and make the best of a bad(assed) situation, but still. Of course, this gets skewed by cultural norms and customs.

As to why: to the ancient and primitive parts of our heads that are concerned only with survival of the species and procreation, thin is at least genetically (more) healthy than obese.

Wrong. The ideal weight is rather fluid. For example, during the ice ages, fat people were idolised because they were much better and finding/storing food than most and thus had good genes for surviving. I've seen pictures of fertility statues from the time, and they look more like beached wales rather than your average (non-yank) person today.

How did I just *know* that bait would get snapped right up? :cool:

And right there friend, you've just had that very part of your brain talk to/through you. Yes: for a woman, rail-thin is counter, well, productive (yes, I adore atrocious wordplay). So, men will go for women with, as they say in the classics, 'child-bearing hips' ..we're just programmed for it! Actually, if you dig around, you should turn up studies that have determined that the sexiest women are the ones with the best ratio of hip to waist size (breast size may have been included, but I'm not sure/recalling that part).

I mean, as a snap quiz: (viewed in silhouette) Jennifer Lopez-esque or Calista Flockhart (Ally McBeal)?

PARTLY wrong: I over-generalised. Sure, during ice-age times, fat is an important sign of social success and suitability for a mate. You gonna tell me the same applies to the San ("bushmen") people in their mostly arid hotazell desert conditions?

PM this way too, please. ;)

How can you guys not know this one?? ..or is it that I just have more depraved (read: better! :rolleyes:) friends?? :D
 
Personally I don't find either silhouette particularly attractive.

Reminds me of a quote : 11% of men said they liked women with thin legs, 17% said they liked women with fat legs. The rest said they preferred something inbetween.

Xarog runs before the double entendre police wise-up...
 
Viewed in silhouette I'd mistake Callista for a boy...

My gf has a fantastic curve from her waist out to nice substantial hips and a lovely round bum. Breast size isn't that important. :)

bdt: yes, you have more depraved friends... PM!

Xarog: brilliant :)

Clearly, to illustrate the point, I was going for extremes ..and TY *very* much for the next sms I'm gonna get onto the network!
 
Mmmmm.. I know the tunnel of love in the Cango caves.. Its a point where the tunnel gets very narrow. I think its a point where you either need to turn back if you dont fit, or one of the things where you can actually go around.

Have been to the Cango caves a few times...whenever I go I like to ask the following questions:

Whats in the unexplored parts of the cave?
Are there any other undiscovered caves in the area?
Is cave completely underground or are there some parts that aren't?

Ruined the caves :mad:

This lady should have listened to the guide :rolleyes:
 
Natas: ending up with some very confused guides, I guess :p

I'm going to guess she didn't listen because she's one of these people who don't realise that the laws of physics are, in fact, discriminatory... and there's no way of gettiong them repealed ;)
 
I just don't understand how she could continue to squeeze herself through the opening to the point where she actually became stuck :confused:. Surely you push a bit and then when it gets too tight you would stop and accept the fact that the tunnel of love is just not made for you?

Guess it goes back to Leitmotif's point about the laws of physics :D

I'm just trying to remember the Tunel of Love. Isn't is a downslope? If so, it may have been impossible to get back up.

Tunnel of love is simply a little tunnel in the middle of the cave. Its level and is called the tunnel of love becuase the entrance, when going into the cave, has a little bit of a heart shape. Not that small at all...not as small as the devils chimney in hte devils kitchen....woulda been a biutch for her if she got stuck there.....they woulda just had to leave her there!!!!
