Man grows fir tree inside lung

[Correction]

Was I the only one who thought, "IT'S NOT A TUMAH!"?

I was waiting for the first 'in Soviet Russia...' joke.

Tree don't breath oxygen, they breath CO2 and release oxygen so basically, this dude had an infinite supply of fresh air without the need to breath in! lol

Unfortunately, this would only work if the tree gets sunlight, so you'd need to like, surgically replace your ribcage and skin with transparent materials, then you'd be Greenhouse Man!

I volunteer to be the first human to grow weed inside his own body.

Someone get me some amazingly potent seeds. Hopefully it'll leak into my bloodstream and I'll have a permanent high until I am "harvested".

^^ This a thousand times.

[Serpent]

No. fungus needs decaying matter to grow on. You'd have to be dead, but breathing.

Semen's a pretty potent seed.

Not all fungi require that. You can grow fungi in any warm damp environment that you never wash, such as between your sweaty legs or toes. It's called jock itch or athlete's foot.

Whether on a pizza, in a hallucinogenic drug, or just an annoying rash between your legs, a mushroom is a mushroom.

My, my. Do not be so quick to group these exotic creatures in with all their brethren. Though it's true a 'shroom is a 'shroom, the psilocybin sort certainly aren't as easy to grow as your garden variety, not to mention whatever comes of your bodily funk.

Not only does this sort require light, but any contamination will quickly destroy them.

FWIW I showed this article to a Doctor at my g/f's medical office last afternoon.

He said it was a load of bullshit. According to him, the x-ray picture in the article shows the "tree" over top of the person's rib cage, obviously making it impossible for it to be in the lungs. The picture of the tissue with the tree in it apparently isn't anything that resembles lung tissue either.

I am sooo glad this guide was not around when I was a teenager.... I did enough shrooms as it stand now without it.

Oh goodness.
