"a slow death"





"wait, there's hope"





"eat quickly, friends"













In the final days of StinkyFeet , I was shuffling around Boston in my fungusy plastic bags, sad and depleted.



I'd believed that the self-infliction of athlete's foot was the pinnacle of scientific inquiry, and with my experiment drawing to a close, I had achieved all I had ever set out to do. And the world was an empty place.



Then, trudging thus towards oblivion, I found hope on a small piece of paper on the sidewalk. It begged me to wonder: can a person gain 30 lbs in 30 days? I did, in fact, wonder.



There was only one thing standing in the way of an answer: I was damn tired of abusing myself. So I put up a cry for help on TheSpark: "Who dares gain 30 lbs in 30 days? I will offer that person $3000 if he should succeed."



Many answered, but only two were chosen: a man and a woman, the Adam and Eve of the new fat tomorrow. I call them Eric and Nicole.



Eric's volunteered to get fat because he needs money for an engagement ring for his girlfriend . Nicole's tired of people judging for her good looks--so she's agreed to ruin them. She was her high-school's homecoming queen .



Both have come to Boston for the month of October to gain the 30 lbs in 30 days that science demands.



TheSpark's Fat Project began on October 1st and will roll on to Halloween. Enjoy.
