Yeah I read that a few days ago. There's also some freakish compulsive-swallowing facts in the Guiness Book of World Records.

Wow, twelve pounds of coin in your stomach, the thought of that makes me cringe. :I

I heard the guy was a little crazy and was secretly swallowing the coins. He had something like 650 bucks worth of coin and died during surgery.
Yikes.

On the radio a month or so ago they were talking about some inmate who compulsively swallowed spoons or forks or something. I think they ended up transferring him to the mental ward. Ouch.
The story wouldn't load for me, so I don't know exactly what it said, but I do know if a kid swallows even one coin it can clog up thier intestines and kill them.

I shouldn't make fun but I wonder if he jingled when he walked. $650 puts my piggy bank to shame! So many humorous thoughts that I should keep to myself. =:)

That's nasty. It pushed his stomach between his hips? No wonder he was in so much pain.
I don't know about walking Bluemoon, maybe he'd have jingled just a little if he jogged? Though I must admit I'd be going nowhere if I had something weighing as much as a bowling ball in my guts. ???
