      @jon-nyc there are several channels on cable that talk about these medical oddities. Usually they're in impoverished countries with little/no access to healthcare.

      Here, he went to a hospital in Nagpur, India in 1999. At that time the population was about 2 million. I would think that a city of that size would have access to a CT scanner, or at the very least an x-ray, so that a pre-op diagnosis could have been made.

      With the possible tumor restricting Sanju’s respiration, Mehta got right to work and opened Sanju up.

      That’s when things got weird. As soon as Dr. Mehta sliced into Sanju’s stomach, an unusual amount of fluid spilled out. Then he looked inside...

      Yeah, that should not have been a surprise if they had taken a picture beforehand.

                    For scale.

                    Looks like the handle is only about 5 cm long.

                    Small hands....

                        Word is that they were Roman swords stolen and hidden by judean rebels. Dated to the second revolt. That’s against Hadrian in about 135.

                          Ok, a 1937 dollar is equivalent to $21 or so today. Still it’s remarkable.

                                And with the stroke of a pen they rewrote history.

                                No more colonies.

                                If only they remembered to mention reparations for the descendants of the colonists 250 years later.

                                And no more calling names like yanks and chaps.

                                        There could also be sex differences on propensity to review books online.

                                        It would be interesting to see this normalized by total number of reviews by genre. You’d then see a relative lead among men in most of the non-fiction segments.
