"Unexpected Swallowing of a Knife" -- that's a grabbier title than most ones you see in medical journals.
The short item, a clinical image in this week's New England Journal of Medicine, explains that a 30-year-old woman with a history of bulimia had been bragging to friends that she no longer had a gag reflex. She put the knife into her mouth and then laughed -- at which point she swallowed the knife.

Is there a difference between flotsam and jetsome?
One has large chunks of Obama in it.
In martime law, flotsam is floating wreckage/debris/cargo from a ship, and jetsam is parts of a ship, its equipment or cargo that has been deliberately jettisoned to lighten the load, and which usually sinks or washes ashore.
I chose Flotsam_Jetsome as my screenname because although I sometimes feel tossed about by life's waves (Flotsam), the Jetsome half of that moniker reminds me that I am not entirely without means (I can afford to "jet, some" Even if it's Economy Class) to resist the creeping tyranny I see happening in America, and so should buck up and fight back as best I can within the means at my disposal.
Hope that helps.
Commentary on the Obama economy ...
I have never heard one word use with out the other, interesting.
Was this good stuff you heard or bad stuff? I’ve never used antibacterial products, and the CFIDS began back in ‘88.
Too late on the pasta salad. It wa so good, I ate it all. Of course, I only made a small bowl of it.
That would be “fartESS,” to you, Missy! LOL!
It would be a perfect time to wash clothes, but the laundry room bacame part of the community room when the remodeling was done a couple of years ago, so now we have to wait till 0700 when someone comes to unlock the building. The bestids.
Oddly enough, there is. It has to do with intent.
...I get clammy...
Hiya. 84 during the day. Have been helping the ladies in town put in new flooring in the town comunity center.....ouch sore today...LOL!
I think I heard elk talking to each other last evening right outside our front window near the creek.
My would it be any different intent or out of a tent?
Several of my kids slept in a tent the last two nights, but it’s looking like it will rain soon. They can stay inside tonight.
That's just your inner mushroom coming out.
Elk talking? We had a lot of rowdy birds that stamped their feet on the roof when I lived in the desert. They’re so little—who knew they had such big, fat, noisy feet?
Please excuse tardiness. Today was rescue shelter day and I fell asleep after eating (don’t eat before I report for duty because food makes me fall asleep which is an undesirable outcome when I’m driving).
The chemical Mr. Sg refers to is triclosan (sp?). Bad stuff. Not sure that this is worth considering.
It’s fine about the pasta salad. I can enjoy it vicariously. I tried making cat food today—canned it. Hope the kitties like it. Otherwise, we’re sure Crowbar will eat it.
Good night and sweet dreams!
It must be morning. My brain feels moldy.
Today, I just HAVE to clean the fridge. It’s getting to where I’m afraid to open the door, wondering what will jump out and attack me.
Then I’m going to go on a liquid diet for the next few days and see if I can stop this marathon.
Remain clam...

Your brain is in the fridge?
