layers of toilet paper.
3. The best (?) recorded distance for projectile vomiting is 27
feet.
4. Contrary to popular belief, if you swallow chewing gum it does
not stay in the gut. Usually it will pass through the system and
is passed without incident. However, several cases have been
reported where the gum has stuck in the rectum, causing the
unfortunate sufferer to pass long sticky trails of gum, like a
pink spider's web.

sitting on them. The vacuum action of these toilets sucked the
rectum inside out.

7. If your body's natural defences failed, the enzymes in your gut
would consume you within 48 hours, literally eating you from the
inside out.

12. A woman who had recently visited South America, where she had
been on safari in local rainforest, began to experience severe
pains in her left ear, accompanied by headaches, dizziness and
constant rustling sounds, at first put down to tinnitus. It became
so serious that exploratory surgery was required, which revealed
that a spider had become trapped in her ear. Eventually it had
eaten through her eardrum and was living within the aural cavity.
The rustling sounds were from the spider crawling around inside
her skull. An egg sac was also removed.
13. A man in Australia, concerned about a growing lump on his
nose, was examining it in the mirror and saw a red back spider
crawl out. Doctors found an entire red back nest inside his nose.
14. An obese woman was admitted to a Queensland hospital with
stomach pains, it turned out that her T.V. remote control was
stuck in between rolls of fat and had eventually become an
abscess.
15. Another woman in Queensland who had lost a lot of weight went
