Joker=Marfan Syndrome?

[michephantom]

A random thought just occurred to me. We all know the Joker is very tall and skinny, probably flexible, he has a long face and prominant features, as well as long hands. Sounds like Marfan's Syndrome.

Skeleton- People with the Marfan syndrome are typically, but not always, very tall or taller than unaffected people in their family, slender and loose jointed. The Marfan syndrome affects the long bones of the skeleton. Therefore the arms, legs, fingers, and toes may be disproportionately long in relation to the rest of the body. A person with the Marfan syndrome often has a long, narrow face, and the roof of the mouth may be arched, causing the teeth to be crowded. Other skeletal abnormalities include a sternum (breastbone) that is either protruding or indented, curvature of the spine (scoliosis), and flat feet.

Not being a hypochondriac, but I think I have that. I have an indented sternum and I always wondered why. I'm also pretty tall and really thin and my teeth were crowded until I got braces in high school. Hmm, I should look into this.

My favorite real person and my favorite fictional person might have something in common?! Score!

That's actually a neat theory.

Oh, why thank you. What part of Chicago are you from?

Edit: That reminds me, I need to put some more stuff up on the ol' blog. I've been all jacked up with these wisdom teeth the past couple days so I really haven't been in the mood for much of anything.

Haha, while that would make an interesting story, I'm actually already happily engaged to a wonderful gal.
