    Apparently his body was willing to give peas a chance.

    That was good, Ron.

    Thanks for the posting, maf. I've linked to it on my facebook page. It's not April first or anything like that, is it?

    Last year around April 1 there was a 'fir tree in man's lung' story out of Moscow that was judged to be a hoax. I can't find any hoax reports on this story. Yet.

    Saw this story in my newspaper this morning. Grimace-inducing yet amazing.
    Glad the fella didn't develop PEA-neumonia.
    Children all over the world now have justification for refusing to eat this legume.

    Way to rock the pun, Ron!

    That's a different pea in the photo from flickr, would love to see a picture of this one (despite the grossness).

    Had I known Ron was going to make that pun, I would have been tempted to try and grow one in my own lung years ago. All we are saying.......

    I suppose once it's removed, the worse he could suffer would be a leurisy, neumonia, or neumothorax.

    Ha!
    Hope he doesn't need a hlebotomy. Or experience an upsurge in hlegm roduction.
