I watched this story being told on tele today....some say its impossible but others said its true......all I can say if it is......flipping eck:-2

Russian media has reported that a man who complained to doctors of severe chest pains was told he had a fir tree growing inside his lung.

Reports say Artyom Sidorkin, 28, from the Urals region of Russia, is believed to have inhaled a seed which then sprouted inside him.

Doctors were convinced he had cancer after he came to them complaining of agonising chest pains and coughing up blood.

An X-ray showed what was believed to be a tumour, and he was rushed to the operating theatre.

Surgeon Vladimir Kamashev from Izhevsk in the Urals was quoted as saying "We were 100% sure."

"We did X-rays and found what looked exactly like a tumour. I had seen hundreds before, so we decided on surgery."

Before removing the major part of the man's lung, the surgeon investigated the tissue taken in a biopsy.

"I thought I was hallucinating," said Dr Kamashev.

"I asked my assistant to have a look: 'Come and see this - we've got a fir tree here'."

"He nodded in shock. I blinked three times as I was sure I was seeing things."

The 2in (5cm) spruce, which was said to be touching the man's capillaries and causing severe pain, was removed.

Mr Sidorkin, now recovering after the op, said in reports: "To be honest I did not feel any foreign object inside me. But I'm just so relieved it's not cancer.":D

It's got to be better to have it surgically removed I'd have thought...I mean, you wouldn't want the first indication to be trying to crap a Pine Cone out, would you?.....

That's gotta hurt! I don't even want to think about that. It'd tear your bum to shreds..Nasty!

I have posted this story before so i apologise to those who read it months ago but this talk of things coming out of arsses reminded me again.

When my dog Mulder was a pup, we had large pot plants and he'd dig all the soil out when we were out. To stop him, I covered the soil with tin foil. It still didn't work as we'd come home and find the foil gone and a pile of soil on the carpet still. One night he was having his last toilet break in the garden before going to bed and i went to call him in. I saw something glinting in the moonlight and the next morning we found his piles of poo complete with tin foil in it. Still, it saved buying garden lights for a few weeks. :wah:
