Woman Arrested For Dumping Ton Of Vomit: "Police in Japan have arrested a 25-year-old bulimic woman who may have dumped more than a ton of vomit on city streets. Officers have been investigating 40 complaints of sick mysteriously being ditched over the last 14 months. Police say she was arrested after they saw her dump three bags at a roadside. They had the combined weight of 66 pounds."

I'm sorry, but there's getting trapped in a cycle of binging and purging, and there's allowing most of your digestion to take place externally. There's admitting to yourself that you have an eating disorder, and there's admitting to yourself that you're a five-foot three-inch housefly (if you can stop wiping your hands and your face long enough, that is).

I've heard the bathroom facilities in Japan differ from (most rednecks excluded) ours in North America, BUT, certainly there is a hole in which to dispose of vomit? And just how long does it take to fill a bag with over twenty pounds of vomit? Weeks? Days?

I am completely baffled, and feeling a little sick.
