FISH lives in lung. A living fish has been surgically
removed from a 12-year old boy’s
lung, after he swallowed it whilst
playing in a river.
The 9cm fish, according to
reports, slipped down “the wrong
way” and entered the boy’s lung
in a river in India’s Madhya
Pradesh district.
“The fish was live when the
bronchoscopy was done,
restricting the functioning of
both the lungs resulting in low
intake of oxygen,” said Dr Pramod
Jhawar who performed the 45
minute fish removal.
ANIMAL intelligence.
A rotund hamster is gaining a
firm fan base worldwide for its
dramatic flair, playing dead on cue.
Posted on YouTube, the
hamster’s trick sees his owner
point a fake finger gun at the
thespian before pulling the
trigger and saying bang, to which
the hamster responds by falling
back against the wall, slowly
closing his eyes, and then
dramatically lolling onto his side.
Captioned “No hamsters were
hurt in the making of this film”,
the clip has clocked hundreds of
thousands of views since its
release.
THE taste of sorrow.
Collectors of the bizarre will be
excited to learn of a new product
release, salt created from human
tears.
The salts are being sold in
London’s Hoxton Street Monster
Supplies and are classed into the
categories from which the tears
were created, Anger, Chopping
Onions, Sneezing, Laughter and
Sorrow.
“Salt Made From Tears
combines centuries-old craft
with the freshest human tears
which are gently boiled, released
into shallow crystallisation tanks,
then harvested by hand and
finally rinsed in brine,” said a
spokesperson from the store.
