DAMN and I Thought I Was Eccentric

This shit is wild. Link to Wiki entry on the Collyer brothers (the book I recommended in an earlier entry, Homer & Langley, was loosely based upon these two men): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collyer_brothers

Fascinating stuff. And yes, the brothers had eight cats. Shut up.

That was crazy. Thank you for sharing it. Some people are more like animals than others, I guess. It tickled me, the thought of their dad being a gynecologist and them building all those tunnels.

I finally realized what those pictures remind me of -- my kids' room.

You're welcome, Steph. The story of the brothers really upsets me somehow. I find it overwhelmingly sad. I had bad dreams all night last night because I read this shit. I was depressed and weepy this morning, and I know it was tied to this. Of course I am going to read more about them today. I can't help myself.

I can relate to that.
