Appendix BB

Only in Alaska. From the Anchorage Daily News:

Though it may look vaguely like a hand grenade, the solid white structure in the X-ray is actually someone's appendix, visible only because it is full of shotgun pellets -- so full, in fact, that it is stretched to about three times its normal size.
The patient, a 73-year-old Inuit woman at Norton Sound Regional Hospital in Nome, had probably been swallowing the pellets inadvertently for decades, in the meat of ducks and geese shot by local hunters.

The image did not surprise the doctors who interpreted her X-ray, William Cox and Gene Pesola, who were used to seeing pellets -- though not this many -- in the appendix in Alaska Natives.

Let's just hope that, if her appendix ever bursts, it's not in a public place. I'd hate for innocent bystanders to get shot by someone's appendix.
