No way, we are going to explore these "human pearls" to the max. Leaving no stone unturned.

Wasn't there a Pope of old that had his kidney stones removed and they were sold as bezoars(over and over and over)?? I can't remember his name but will look it up. I know I saw a picture of them in a book somewhere.

I'm a doctor and this thread is making me sick. I think there were a few cases of dead fetuses (incomplete miscarriages) getting calcified and staying in the body for decades before causing abdominal pain.

You all are Cracking me up !!!!

I started this thread just as a "Per Say" thing. I have done more research,and it seems the " Human Pearls " have some kind of market..weird, however, as soon as i get a stone " kidney or gall " i'll post it on Ebay just for kicks ,chits and giggles....Hey, i saw a guy sell his left nut on Ebay, " Left nut was a Lugnut from a Truck for 98.00 " !

Charles! You have to be famous in order to get some kind of nifty return on your kidney/gall stones. Finding a few unusual pearls doesn't cut it.

Lugnut. Heehee. I swear you remind me more and more of a certain someone I know.

I wonder who that could be?

Charles what do you know about that expression, "kicks, chits and giggles?" I have heard it only as "$#!t$ and giggles."

Caitlin....more poop for you. Famous poop! People in the U.S. sure do obsess about celebrity related memorabilia to an extreme degree.

Enter the site at your own risk---Poop unpetrified.

I really don't know.

"Love is Friendship on Fire", that's a wonderful saying. In his case though, it would be more like he "Loves to set Fire to Friendship"

I think that's actually the closest thing to pearls that humans can produce. Or maybe parotid duct stones - those are about the right size too ...

No... the foetus thing already reached the high point... Not sure what could top that! YUCK!

Besides, the parotid duct stones wouldn't have a protective function, or would they? (imagining that the calcification process in the first case had one: to make a harmful foreign body palatable for the living organism around it, at least for a while).

LOL! Still can't believe this thread is happening.


PS. folks, give Google a break on these things. I've made that mistake already and the images are lunch-wasting shockers.
