Within the Amish study group, some volunteers had two copies of a fattening variant; these people were 67% more likely to be obese and were on average 7 lbs. heavier than people without any copies of this form of the gene...
...wasn't quite that light two nights ago. On Sunday, Cejudo couldn't keep his eyes closed. "If I can't sleep, I'll drink a whole gallon of water," he says. The problem: that imbibing bloated him like a balloon. He added 10 lbs. onto his chiseled, compact frame.

...part, Anderson claimed that he'd been kidnapped at gunpoint (albeit a replica), forced to have sex while chained to the bed (and twice more unchained), and that, despite being six foot four and 240 lbs. (110 kg), had never resisted. "I had made a plan for my release," Anderson testified, "but it wasn't through running away. I was going to cooperate." Even after his ordeal, when McKinney and May drove him back to London and a long lunch in Trafalgar Square, he still cooperated...
