'I'm not disabled' insists waitress born with feet facing backwards
2007-12-04
A waitress has refused to be classified as disabled even though she was born with feet that face backwards. Wang Fang, 27, of Chongqing city in China, was born with her feet facing the wrong way, but has learned to live with her condition without problems and recently refused a disability pension.

Wang Fang, 27, was born with feet facing backwards She said: "I can run faster than most of my friends and have a regular job as a waitress in the family restaurant. There is no reason to class me as disabled."

Doctors and her family feared she would not be able to walk properly when she was born, but agreed that she can now outrun anyone she knows. Wang, who has a five year-old son with normal feet, said: "I can walk as well as anyone else, and even run faster than them. I'm like everyone else - except of course that I put my shoes on backwards."

#5  This was a years-old dream/vision of mine, albeit I admit I'm still pondering the proper interpolation or interpretation/symbolism of it, espec where God-Heaven is concerned.

ERROL FLYN/RONALD REAGAN as NOT "JOHN BROWN" in "SANTA FE TRAIL" > JEHOVAH/ALMIGHTY IS A JEALOUS GOD... JEHOVAH IS A GOD OF WAR. Are some or certain thingys that not even MADONNA, etc. FANS are meant to [immediately] comprehend.

#2  Weird.
IIRC, backward feet were supposed to be one of the distinguishing features of faeries, feys, changelings,... trying to pass themselves as humans - like demonic apparitions which supposedly always have such a malformation when disguised as benevolent angels, loved ones, or humans (that is why when the BVM will appear to you sometimes soon, you should ask to see her feet, just to be on the safe side).

Oh, and I've no doubt she can outrun me, assuming she's even marginally able to move.

#1  Actually it looks like they are bent over forwards to the point of being "backwards". Her toenails are on the bottom!

And she can probably run faster than me, too! :-)
