Man Takes Up Internal Farming

RockDoctor writes "'A Massachusetts man who was rushed to hospital with a collapsed lung came home with an unusual diagnosis: a pea plant was growing in his lung.' Just that summary should tell you enough to work out most of the rest of the details, but it does raise a number of questions unaddressed by the article: How did the pea roots deal with the patient's immune system? What would have happened if the situation had continued un-treated? I bet the guy has a career awaiting him in PR for a pea-growing company."

    Is this Massachusetts, UK? I ask because I'm reading this on the bbc.co.uk, and I figured if this was in the US then shouldn't this be on some Boston news website?

    Wow...

    Maybe Slashdot registration should include a test of cognitive skills.

    The next time your girlfriend/wife/significant other says "pee in me", they might mean something else.
