    It looks kinda like Corn Pops growing off his hand. Which is fun because I was currently enjoying a bowl of them myself. I'm gonna go through them out now, thanks.

    He's like the real-life version of The Thing from the Fantastic 4! I hope he's not too self-concious about it, otherwise he should just tell people it's his superpower. :D

    I don't even think it's that gross. I find it incredibly intresting.
