Sup /fit/.I just noticed some really stooped over old people at a hospital, and now I'm wondering: When they, or hunchbacked people lie on their backs, do they straighten out, or are they premanently like that?How about if you hang them from a noose?Pic sorta related.
They straighten out. Their spines, however, are forever contorted in that awkward position after years of that slouching / slumping habit. My father has it and he lays down fine, but when he gets up, he's just a hunchback.
