Medical staff had to halt the procedure, fearing a possible explosion. The hospital, unfamiliar with such protocols, immediately alerted the authorities, and around 1:40 a.m., police arrived and activated the bomb squad. The team established a security perimeter to neutralize the device so surgery could continue, though no one knew at that stage if the entire operation could blow up at any moment.

“There’s a guy in the waiting room with a WW1 shell inside him”

“Rectum?”

“Not yet, but it’s touch and go”

IT KEEPS HAPPENING!

Come on people if you find century old ordnance in your back yard, make sure it has a flared base!

Stick with mortar rounds, not shells for infantry support guns or artillery!

The described size of the shell is interesting. “Over 3 centimeters” sounds like it could be a 3.7cm shell which were fairly common in WW1 but, none of those were “20 cm long” most being closer to 10 cm, such as the the 37mm mle.1916, the 1 pounder pom pom and the 3.7 cm TAK 1918.

Later ww2 3.7mm shells were often close to 20cm in length though.

Learned about the need for a flare base from Lemmy.

Thank you. 😒

[-] MasterBlaster@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

sssssuuuuurrrreeee you did. (yes, that was a joke, don't be offended, plz)

[-] miked@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago

Not offended at all. This is Lemmy.

[-] GalacticGrapefruit@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

If it doesn't have flared base, your ass will 'swallow' it. Pretty quickly, in fact. Don't fuck around with this, it's the most embarrassing ER trip you will have.

Because HIPAA be damned, you will end up being mocked online for weeks, and the shame will be yours, even if your name is omitted from the news cycle.

It's not his fault. He fell on it.

You've also watched Scrubs?

[-] Tanoh@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I was thinking of Seinfeld, but indeed I have watched Scrubs too.

[-] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I think I got my references mixed up. Thanks for setting me straight.

But wait... Isn't he much too young to have fought in WWI?

[-] Gonzako@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

It actually was shot into it's great grandmothers abdomen and has been carried through birth in each generation. Now that the carrier is a man medics actually care about it.

But, it took him 24 years to get an appointment because France has universal healthcare.

The shell time traveled and hit him straight in the ass

Apparently didn't have enough cash to buy a butt plug, got creative, and is now forever globally embarrassed (both figuratively, and literally).

My pleasure, pal! Thunder is also a good one. Those are my top two I would say. There are so many now. I think I've tried the vast majority of them though. I had a bit of a trial period. 😅

I'm too stupid to be afraid to ask today, apparently. "Please" enlighten me.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%90or%C4%91e_Martinovi%C4%87_incident tells: "The collapse of this taboo in the coverage of the Martinović case heralded the growth of nationalism that was to lead to the country's collapse in 1991."

I've heard of an explosive orgasm before, but this is ridiculous.

A few years ago, I went out at the beginning of the summer to get some new pool noodles. I could t find them, no matter where I looked, all summer. So weird.

The following summer, they were everywhere, but they all had a sticker on them, that included "Not to be inserted rectally." Suddenly, I understood why they had been off the market for a season, as the regulators got involved.

So someone saw a pool noodle, and thought "Hmmm..."
