"Ass-plants"

January 19, 2008

Bizarre case in pathology. A look at a colon polyp under the microscope:

There was some sort of seed structure that looked unusual. I showed it around and was greeted with shrugs (how is shit NOT interesting!?). I probably could have dropped it there but I actually know a botanist, so I gave her the slide. A couple days later she called me and said, “It looks weird because it is germinating”.

The dude was growing a bean sprout in his colon.
