<p>[QUOTE=&quot;I Like Trees, post: 290570, member: 10463&quot;] Okay, enough jokes. This is a serious medical condition that I happen to suffer from. It looses you friends and family (not family in my case since they all have it as well) and kills people, so it&#039;s not very funny to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, they are defiantly the textbook example, but you forgot to mention that their mansion in Manhattan where the police found their bodies was full of booby traps. Here is the Wikipedia for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collyer_brothers" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collyer_brothers" rel="nofollow">them</a>. And for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmund_Trebus" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmund_Trebus" rel="nofollow">Edmund Trebus</a> a Polish-born Englishmen I had never heard of. Aparently he was in a BBC documentary recently.</p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>What does &quot;OP&quot; stand for here?</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t dispute that, since you probably don&#039;t have this disease. But the kind of coin collection my uncle has: 2-3 tons of cents kept in cardboard boxes he&#039;s never sorted but keeps adding to because &quot;they might be worth 2 cents someday&quot; probably meets the medical definition of pathological hoarding.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now imagine he had boxes of these stacked to the ceiling on rickety wooden shelves, was elderly (as very many hoarders are), and lived in a cramped space (as very many hoarders do.) Then you can envision the type of fatal collapse I am describing. </p><p><br /></p><p>Ahhh,<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> what a lovely dream.:thumb:</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for sharing! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Isn&#039;t academic inquiry wonderful everyone?:rolling:</p><p>:mouth:[green vomit spills out]</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"> ~</p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
