This Sarah lady has ideas about human centipedes

November 4th, 2011 by Andy

In response to what is, by far the most popular post on this particular site, Sarah writes:

Couldn’t a Human Centipede Work This Way?—–It would seem that a possible solution might be something up your line: Bariatric surgery—a gastric bypass of 75% of the first partner’s small intestine which absorbs the food into the bloodstream, then a 50% bypass of the second partner’s. Thus, the first person could only absorb 25% of what she ate, then the next could only absorb half of the rest, assuring enough nutrient to the last. This would also make the first partner, the only active one constantly starving, causing her to eat immense amounts which would be passed not to her body but to the others in a constant flow. The first could be easily trained through her hunger to perform as required and to voraciously seek and overeat food.

I like you, Sarah.

You’ve got ideas. And not just “ideas,” Sarah. You’ve got ideas.

I’m not really sure how to respond to this particular letter, beyond saying that I have no idea. It’s as reasonable as any suggestion regarding the creation of a human centipede I’ve seen, and I suppose that’s saying something (about what, I have no idea). Until the research is in on human centipede-ing, I suppose we’re all just going to have to make do with conjecture.

So I guess, by all means. Move to Germany (or Florida, if you don’t have a passport) and give it a whack. Write when you’ve got it sorted.

Best of luck!

P.S. I’d really like a video of you doing your best performance of the, “Yes, yes, feed her!” scene from the movie. Can you get on that? Thanks!
