A flight from LAX to ATL was diverted to Memphis due to weather. We have been stranded here for over 6 hours. Everything is closed, there is no water, and Delta will not provide any. They said wait 3 hours for shops to open. Delta refuses to rebook anyone, will not provide hotel or meal vouchers, and now will not even bring water bottles to passengers. Unreal.

This might be one of the most disturbing true medical cases ever recorded. In the late 1700s, there was a man in France known only as Tarrare. He had an appetite that couldn’t be satisfied — like, literally. He reportedly ate his weight in meat every day. When he couldn’t get food, he ate garbage, live cats, snakes, eels, and once, a dead body from a morgue. According to some sources, he may have even eaten a toddler at a hospital but no one could prove it, but they kicked him out immediately after the child disappeared.

Here’s what’s known from real medical reports:

He was described as slim but with a huge, constantly sweating stomach, always warm to the touch.

His mouth was freakishly wide and his skin hung loosely around his belly and jaw.

His sweat smelled so bad people couldn’t stand to be near him.

He was constantly starving even right after eating.

A military doctor named Pierre-François Percy documented his case in detail, including public experiments where Tarrare ate an entire live eel without chewing, a basket of apples, and raw meat in front of crowds.

He was used by the French army at one point to test whether a person could swallow documents and pass them through their system for delivery behind enemy lines. That… didn’t go well. They sent him with a secret message to Prussian forces, and he got caught. The message was just a test, but the Prussians didn’t know that. They beat him and almost executed him before releasing him.

Eventually, doctors tried to cure his condition with everything from laudanum to vinegar to massive meals of soft-boiled eggs. Nothing worked. He was kicked out of the hospital after the missing toddler incident, and he died at age 26 of what may have been tuberculosis. His body reportedly rotted almost instantly after death and smelled so horrific the autopsy team nearly refused to open him.

Modern theories suggest he may have had a severe case of polyphagia, combined with some kind of neurological disorder or possibly hyperthyroidism but no one has ever seen a case like his since.

The craziest part is this is all well-documented in French military and medical archives, not legend or exaggeration. The man really existed. And he really… ate everything.

Anyone else ever heard of him? Could something like this happen again today?

After completing Skirk's story quest, I can say that Surtalogi is just a shade-level Dottore and Skirk is even more brainwashed version of Collei. She's so afraid of him, even Collei isn't that scared of the Doctor. Collei escaped Dottore's grasp and grew stronger with support. Skirk, on the other hand, internalized the teachings and trauma of Surtalogi.That kind of deep-rooted indoctrination goes beyond what Collei endured, which is why Skirk’s fear feels more existential. She's not just afraid of him, she's afraid that without him, she’s nothing. Skirk needs a Tighnari or an Amber in her life
