Plastic Fork Removed From Man’s Stomach After 10 Years
In the U.K., a 40-year-old man recently had a plastic fork surgically removed from his stomach after swallowing it. That's bad enough, but when you consider that he ingested the item a decade ago, the story reaches all new levels of weird. We'll never look at cutlery the same way again.
