You know when you eat something with lots of seeds in it...

The Scientician

and the seeds eh come out intact. What's the deal with that? Do we not digest them?


Yes, discussing bowel movements is a new low, even for me.

Hard to break down a seed I imagine.

Who's balls are you sucking?

Slow news week.....

When you sh!t a small tree!

That's how many plants propagate...the seed has evolved to survive the digestion tract and end up coming out the other end in a nice lump of fertiliser. Only thing is since we stopped sh*tting in a hole in the ground and decided to flush it all into one big collection tank and then into the sea, that doesn't work out so well for the plants involved...

Mulder ate a ton of sunflower seeds, if he couldnt digest them and just shat them out, are they the ultimate no calorie snack?

I eat 'em too (not the overpriced dragons den ones)...thing is I tend to chew them first and break the casing so they get digested, lots of protein, pumpkin seeds too and probably sesame are the same...it's more so when you eat fruit/veg with the seed inside, unchewed that they pass out undigested...

I thought you were told to stop squishing your poo with your hands?

upandcumming

Theres a word for that type of food... I know it but I can't think of it! Can anyone think of it?

Wertz

Sort of like nuts, with more of a subtle oily, plant taste than a nut taste. Pretty unoffensive. Fairly addictive.

ballsymchugh

that's why tomato plants are common along train lines. people eating sammiches and going for a dump.

On the back of this thread I just went for a donald trump.4 solid logs and a not inconsiderable amount of shrapnel
, of high scuttericity. Left a pebble dashing akin to the starting grid of an F1 track. Strong odour, the neighbours will be checking the bear reports. Most importantly, no seeds were sown.

Just be careful you don't inhale one of those seeds OP.

Surgeons find fir tree 'growing inside patient's lung'

Russian surgeons have claimed to have found a two-inch fir tree growing inside a man's lung.







12:54PM BST 14 Apr 2009


The amazing 'discovery' was apparently made when they opened up Artyom Sidorkin, 28, to remove what they thought was a serious tumour.

Mr Sidorkin had complained of extreme pain in his chest and had been coughing up blood. Doctors were convinced he had cancer.



"We were 100 per cent sure," said Vladimir Kamashev, a surgeon in Izhevsk in the Urals. "We did X-rays and found what looked exactly like a tumour.

"I had seen hundreds before, so we decided on surgery."



Before removing part of the man's lung, the surgeon investigated the tissue.

"I thought I was hallucinating," said Mr Kamashev. "I asked my assistant to have a look: 'Come and see this – we've got a fir tree here':D:rolleyes:. He nodded in shock. I blinked three times as I was sure I was seeing things."
Medical staff said that Mr Sidorkin must have inhaled a seed, which later sprouted into a small fir tree inside his lung.


The spruce, which was said to be touching the man's capillaries and causing severe pain, was removed.
"It was very painful. But to be honest I did not feel any foreign object inside me," said Mr Sidorkin. "I'm so relieved it's not cancer."
There was no independent verification of the surgeon's claims.
