Fox News - Doctors say a 13-year-old Colorado girl is lucky to be alive after swallowing a magnetic tongue ring that could have burned a hole in her intestine. Lauren Garcia, of Wheat Ridge, Colo., accidentally swallowed the small magnetized ball bearings that are meant to look like a fake tongue, kdvr.com reports. The girl was taken to the hospital, where tests showed two sets of tiny ball bearings in her intestines. "You have one strong magnet in one loop of intestine, another magnet in another loop of intestine, and those magnets are so strong that they will bring those intestines close together and the two loops joined," said the girl's surgeon, Dr. Saundra Kay. "Slowly those magnets will burrow through the intestines and it makes a hole."
Bam, and just like that teenage fantasies everywhere shattered, while fathers of teenage daughters everywhere rejoice.
If the threat of oral herpes wasn't enough to faze these teenagers the threat of internal death by magnet surely should do it. At least with herpes she'd only be non-popular during break outs, when you're dead, you're dead.
PS: Some of the things you find during google image searches, you just can't un-see. I hope people appreciate the things I've had to view to find all these pictures for the blog. It's going to take years of therapy to reverse some of them.
