A 24-year-old man showed up at Ranqueil Hospital in Toulouse, France earlier this year complaining of severe discomfort and telling staff he had an object stuck inside him. When doctors took him in for surgery, they realized it wasn't a toy at all but a World War I artillery shell from around 1918, roughly 8 inches long, lodged in his rectum.

Because nobody knew if the shell was live, the hospital partially evacuated the ER, called in bomb disposal experts and firefighters and set up a security cordon until specialists declared it safe and removed it. The man reportedly came through surgery fine, but police are now looking at whether he can be charged for possessing Category A munitions, while local media very politely describe the likely reason the shell ended up there as obvious.
