Still wondering how on earth it got in that man his lung. Like they say in the video even if he would have swallowed a seed there is no way that could have survived and grow in there.

Search for Ernest Shackleton's Whisky in Antartic
Article originally appeared on the BBC news site

Two crates of Scotch whisky which belonged to the polar explorer Ernest Shackleton are to be recovered after a century buried in the Antarctic ice.
The McKinlay and Co whisky was found buried under a hut built and used during Shackleton's unsuccessful South Pole expedition between 1907 and 1909.
The crates, which are encased in ice, were first found three years ago.
New Zealand Antarctic Heritage Trust plans to use special cutting tools to remove the crates from the ice.
The crates and bottles are expected to undergo conservation work in New Zealand before being returned to the remote hut at Cape Royds, which the trust is trying to restore to the same condition as when Shackleton's team left it.
Trust spokesman Al Fastier said he would not be tempted to sample the Scotch, saying he preferred to allow the century-old spirits to retain their mystique.
"It would be terrible to sample it and find that it was off," he told Radio New Zealand.
Distillers Whyte and Mackay, which owns the McKinlay brand, are keen to get hold of a bottle, or at least a sample of the now-extinct blend.
The company's master blender Richard Paterson said: "We might even get enough to be able to take a stab at recreating it."
Shackleton's expedition ran short of supplies on its long trek to the South Pole from Cape Royds.
They eventually fell about 100 miles (160 kilometres) short of their goal, although one team did reach the magnetic South Pole and the expedition carried out valuable scientific work.
No lives were lost, vindicating Shackleton's decision to turn back from the pole, which was first reached in 1911 by Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen.
Shackleton later said to his wife: "A live donkey is better than a dead lion, isn't it?"
The expedition's ship left Cape Royds hurriedly in March 1909 as winter ice began forming in the sea, with some equipment and supplies, including the whisky, left behind.
"I personally think they must have been left there by mistake, because it's hard to believe two crates would have been left under the hut without drinking them," Mr Fastier said.
Shackleton sure needed some whisky at the time of the photo... Also, I imagine he wanted whisky without the rocks

The scariest thing I ever saw was a portable butane curling iron was placed up a male patient's rectum by his self and peristalsis sucked it up past the rectum and the surgeons were afraid the peristalsis was going to ignite it and burn up his colon.
You don't take a wheel chair to ER to pick up patients with foreign objects in the rectum either.

Man survives three week erection 
Now impotent? That must be hard for him!Silver Forest wrote:http://www.couriermail.com.au/entertain ... 5836890891
From: The Daily Telegraph March 04, 2010 10:15AM
SURGEONS have saved a man's life after his three week erection that wouldn't go away nearly killed him.
The businessman, 55, was forced to undergo an emergency operation after his problem firmly persisted for a staggering 21 days.
Doctors at a hospital in Kolkata, India, eventually performed the surgery to put the middle-aged man out of his misery, The Sun reports.
But although the hour-long operation was successful, it rendered the man impotent.
Doctor Avishek Mukherjee said: "It was very late when the man sought treatment.
"The treatment has to be sought within six hours, otherwise it could even lead to death, besides the degeneration of the penis."
Doctors believe the father of two was suffering from a condition called priapism, triggered by a nervous system disorder.
lol heard about that on the radio. Strange days have found us! lolSilver Forest wrote:Not exactly a weird new but more a weird website.
