(CNN) - A man who tips the scale at close to 800 pounds says he has nowhere to go after being kicked out of a hospital weight loss program for ordering pizza.

Now he rides in the back of an SUV while his father drives the roads of Rhode Island, looking for someone who can help.

Steven Assanti, 33, said his eating addiction has led him to this place, living in the back of his dad's SUV with nowhere else to go.

Same as people can get addicted to drugs, alcohol or gambling, one can get addicted to food.

Food is harder, because you have to moderate. Abstinence isn't an option. If I could take a magic pill three times a day that had everything I required nutritionally I'd be in great shape.

Aunt sues 12-year-old nephew who broke her wrist with a ‘careless’ hug:
A 54-year-old New Yorker, Jennifer Connell, has filed suit against her now 12-year old nephew for an incident several years ago in which he hugged her a little too hard, knocked her to the floor — and broke her wrist.

The then-8-year-old was pretty excited to see his aunt at his birthday party on March 18, 2011, according to the Connecticut Post. He had just gotten a two-wheel bike that day and was riding it around the home, the newspaper reported. He was so excited that he ran up to his aunt as soon as he saw her.

“Auntie Jen, Auntie Jen,” he exclaimed.

That’s when things got a little dangerous.

“All of a sudden he was there in the air, I had to catch him, and we tumbled onto the ground,” Connell testified, according to the Connecticut Post. “I remember him shouting, ‘Auntie Jen, I love you,’ and there he was flying at me.”

All 50 pounds of him.

Not to mention that this boy, who was 8 when he viciously hugged his beloved aunt, has lost his mother since the tragic incident.

This is almost assuredly a requirement to get insurance to kick in. I very strongly doubt she's actually attempting to collect damages.

Man Busted For Wiping Butt With Summons:
A New Jersey man has been indicted for wiping “between his butt cheeks” with a police summons that he then threw at a cop, according to court records.

Joseph Greenwood, 45, is facing a felony rap for allegedly purposely subjecting a police officer to “contact with a bodily fluid” during a June incident in Readington, a township about 50 miles from New York City.

Wonder how much jail cred is awarded to the dude that wipes his butt with a summons and then tosses it at an officer? Probably gets an extra scoop of the meat with the blue sauce.

Friend posted a picture of the Western Sanatarium and Asylum's annual Halloween event in Weston, WV. At one time it was the longest sandstone building in the world.
