NAILS REMOVED FROM MAN’S STOMACH
Now, this is no crime, but the jury’s still out on what could possibly be the motivation for the actions of a man in northern Peru. Meet Peru’s Man of Steel – and copper and all sorts of other shiny stuff. Doctors surgically removed more than half a kilo of nails, coins, wire and other assorted odds and ends from this man’s stomach. The 26 year-old construction worker said he’d been eating the pieces of metal from his worksite for months. His only explanation: He called it a sport.
