Los Angeles County officials are investigating what appeared to be a pair of lungs found on a sidewalk in unincorporated South Los Angeles.

A citizen called to report what she thought were the organs about 8:30 p.m. Sunday in the 13100 block of Avalon Boulevard, said Sgt. Robert Dean of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

Ed Winter, spokesman for the Los Angeles County Coroner's office, said the possible organs were not attached to a body, and he found the situation “a little strange.”

Not for L.A.

Here's a very unappetizing photo that might show the lungs in question:

I just read your comments regarding Bush on your homepage. What a riot. Please stop with the ‘attempts so as to appear humorous.’ My sides!

I find this information very helpful. I have Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, can't afford a transplant and will be looking on the sidewalk from now on for a new pair.

I once saw a girl who had a great pair of lungs!

One thing about the "Old FR."

In addition to being informative, the posting of pictures of pretty girls (and beautiful women) was de rigueur.

This was especially true on threads of limited news value.

Now, on the "New FR" this practice has waned. No longer is MoDo tortured with photos of CZ-Jones and even the posting of Ann Coulter pics has fallen off since she herself has fallen from favor.

But there are lots of beautiful women in the world, most of whom have lungs. (See the tie-in?) So here's one of my favorites, Siouxie Sue -

“In a related story, they found a “possible spine” in Speaker Boehner’s office.”

The saddest part of the story is Boehner, never knew his spine was missing.

You can find lungs in LA, but you’ll spend a long time looking for a heart.
