INSIDER Bomb squad called to ER after a patient turned up with a WWII artillery shell lodged in his rectum, police say jzitser@businessinsider.com (Joshua Zitser)
A man presented at an emergency room in Gloucester, England, with a "munition in his rectum," police say.
Doctors removed the World War II artillery shell from inside of him.
Bomb disposal experts confirmed that the shell was "not live," per a police statement.
Bomb disposal experts were called to a hospital in Gloucester, England after a man told doctors that there was a World War II anti-tank shell lodged inside of him, authorities said.
The Explosive Ordnance Disposal team (EOD) arrived at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital on Wednesday morning after hearing that "a patient had presented with a munition in his rectum," a spokesperson for Gloucestershire Constabulary told Insider.
The item had already been removed by doctors by the time the bomb squad arrived, the spokesperson added, and the EOD confirmed that the shell was "not live" and "therefore not a danger to the public."
The Sun was first to report that the unnamed patient told doctors at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital that he "slipped and fell" on the two-inch-wide artillery shell.
The media outlet reported that the shell was part of his military memorabilia collection.
In a statement sent to Insider, Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said: "As with any incident involving munitions, the relevant safety protocols were followed to ensure that there was no risk to patients, staff, or visitors at any time."
The British newspaper Metro reported that procedures to remove objects from patients' rectums cost the National Health Service (NHS) around £340,000 ($450,000) a year.

Whose fault is it that the jedis are currently involved in actively genociding Palestinians.
I have heard all sorts of copes. It's the Arab Leagues Fault, it's the Palestinians own fault, it's the PLA's fault, it's Irans fault, it's the PLA's fault, it's the Soviet Unions Fault, it's Syrias fault, it's Egypt's fault, it's Muslims fault, it's Evangelical Christian's faults, it's George W. Bushes Fault, it's the Republican Party's fault, it's the American people's fault.
Today I learned it's actual my fault.
The reason the jedis are genociding the palestinians is actually my fault.
What if what the jedis do is actually just the jedi's own fault? Wouldn't that just be a radical idea?
Everything bad is always Rump's fault.

Yet another failure for the prosecution of Kyle Rittenhouse: The judge presiding over the homicide trial tossed another charge against the 18-year-old on Monday.
Kenosha County Circuit Judge Bruce Schroeder concluded that the misdemeanor count of possession of a dangerous weapon under the age of 18 could not stand because the barrel size of the rifle Rittenhouse carried the night he shot and killed two people does not technically fit Wisconsin’s gun law.
The law in question is Wisconsin Statute 948.60(2)(a), which states, "Any person under 18 years of age who possesses or goes armed with a dangerous weapon is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor." However, a third section under the law grants certain exemptions and says the law only applies to persons under 18 years of age carrying a gun who are found in violation of or not in compliance with three rules: The first bans short-barreled shotguns or short-barreled rifles, the second restricts “hunting and use of firearms by persons under 16 years of age,” and the third requires persons who plan to hunt to be licensed.
Rittenhouse’s defense team acknowledged he violated the third rule, which would require him to be licensed to carry a weapon used for hunting. But the other two rules do not apply, they argued, because Rittenhouse’s AR-style weapon is not a short-barreled shotgun nor a short-barreled rifle and because Rittenhouse was 17 years old, not 16 years old, at the time of the shooting.
This was enough for Schroeder, who conceded the Wisconsin law was “poorly worded” and dropped the charge.

but Bears, Wolves, Racoons can all suck it!
Missouri is instituting its first bear hunt this year in forever.

I think that meat thermometer would be very helpful.
It would let you check temp without opening the oven and releasing all the heat requiring time to get back to where you were to begin with as well as preventing unsafe, undercooked meat or leathery, dried out overcooked meat.
Not entirely necessary, but helpful nevertheless.

That whole "FOR THE BETTER GOOD" thingy.
Too bad it is meeting up with such opposition from the "ME ME ME" generation.
I'm sure glad the "Greatest Generation" didn't feel that way or we'd all be goose stepping now.
