He has kept the E-ray as proof
A piercing enthusiast in the US discovered a nose ring he lost five years ago at an unusual place – his lung.
Till now, 35-year-old, Joey Lykins, assumed the ring had fallen out when he was sleeping. But he did not know that it was lodged in his lung all these years. He had given up and replaced the nasal ornament, according to news reports.
Mr Lykins has 12 other piercings but rediscovered his missing nose ring in a painful way.
“I thought maybe I’d swallowed it. I looked everywhere. I flipped the bed over. I did everything.
“One night, I was coughing so hard that my back was starting to hurt, I felt like something was blocking my airways, and I thought I was sick,” he said.
He was taken to a hospital where the doctors initially thought it was pneumonia. But the X-ray shocked them after the results showed a 0.6 inch nose ring embedded inside the upper left lobe of his lung and was lucky that the ring did not puncture his lung.
“The doctor came in and showed me the picture and said ‘does this look familiar?’ I was like ‘you’ve got to be kidding me? I’ve been looking for that’,” he told UK-based Metro.
Mr Lykins has kept the X-ray images and photographs from the surgery when the ring being extracted, as proof for those who cast doubt about the entire story. -ndtv.com
An Alberta baseball team hosted a Guinness World Record attempt involving an Australian shepherd jumping across the backs of 56 people.
The Edmonton Riverhawks, an amateur summer collegiate team in the West Coast League, hosted the record attempt for the most jumps between people by a dog in one minute during a June 14 game.
Chardonnay, a 4-year-old Australian shepherd belonging to dog trainer Jennifer Fraser, bounded across the backs of 56 fans arranged in a straight line in the outfield.
The record’s rules set a time limit of one minute, but Chardonnay managed to set the record in just 16 seconds.
Fraser said she trained Chardonnay to jump onto her back a few years ago, and her trick repertoire has since expanded.
“Jumping across backs is just one of her many skills,” Fraser said.
Firefighters and an animal control officer in San Francisco came to the rescue of a wild parrot that got its head stuck between panes of glass on a third-floor balcony.
San Francisco Animal Care & Control said on social media that Officer Mullen responded alongside the San Francisco Fire Department on Sunday when a parrot was spotted with its head stuck between two panes of glass on the balcony of an under-construction building.
Firefighters went to the roof of a building and lowered a ladder to the balcony, where they were able to slide the bird upward to free its head.
“They wrapped the bird in a towel and handed it off to Officer Mullen, who checked out the bird,” the post said. “Thankfully they were fine: their wings, legs and neck were all OK, so Officer Mullen released the bird.”
The parrot made its way to a nearby tree to rest on a branch. UPI.com
