The lady who does pamperd chef is also a professional Nanny. she told this story that made me gag... she had a kid that she was a nanny for and one day the kid started to really complain that his nose hurt. So the mom looked in his nose and saw something in it. She got a pair of tweezers and pulled out a white fuzzy thing about 6 inches long it looked like a piece of string. However when she pulled it out the kid started bleeding really bad, so bad that she called a ambulance. the ambulance crew couldnt get him to stop bleeding so they rushed him to the ER. The ER did some head X-Rays and they couldnt believe what they saw... They dont know how long it took but what happend was that the kid had shoved a bean up his nose and it had sprouted!!!! :disgust: His sinus was packed with the roots of the bean :disgust: :disgust: They had to do major sugery to open up his skull and get all the roots out :disgust: :disgust: :disgust: hope nobody was eating while reading that....
OH SH!T!
SNAP! ewwwww .. is that possible or is that another urban myth?
My vote:
Urban Myth! Why? photosynthesis. 'nough said.
are you sure? Plants dont need sunlight to germinate. i bet if it was left to grow the plant would have received enough sunlight through the nose to continue growing.
The seed is actually mostly carbs, very little is the genetic material that makes the plant. Upon awakening and starting to grow, it uses the seed for nutrients and energy, before it has leaves (photosynthesis) it has enough juice to get up and at em.
I still don't believe the story though. If something is stuck in your nose, like a bean, it's really aggrivating and you'd want it out, there are no hidden recesses in there that it could "get lost" in. It would be bugging you to hell well before it sprouted.
