Holy crap D:

If you just like, pressed on your tummy, you'd feel a huge rock in there. Good thing no one ever... fell or stepped on him.

Where the heck was it? How did iy not make his kidney explode or something?

When did golf balls become the size of coconuts?

I'm becoming all kinds of confused with the scales being used. I think that article is just flat out wrong with its analogies.

EDIT: *Rereads* OH... well that's a bad way to start an article. If your title denotes coconuts, don't begin by talking about golf balls, Daily Mail.

My only question now is if a kidney stone of that size could be carried by an African swallow.

Is that.. really real? I mean, wouldn't the size cause something rupturing/tearing/ripping :o?

Well, since a kidney stone has no husk, I don't believe a swallow could carry it.

It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios!

Well... suppose two swallows carried it together?


Anyway. This seems like a hoax too me. The rocks just too big!

No, they'd have to have it on a line.



Anyway, sheesh, that's huge.

[font="Trebuchet MS"][SIZE="4"][color="RoyalBlue"]One wonders how do you NOT notice something that big inside you? I mean, that stone looked like it took some time to form.

Hey, I wonder if you saw it open, would it look like a Geode--all those different layers inside it.[/color][/SIZE][/font]

what happened to his kidneys?

I'm guessing from the tone of the article that their okay,
But still, a kidney stone the size of a coconut.

That's got to hurt.
