In Soviet Russia, tree grows in you!

File this under the WTF? category: recently, a Russian man was found with a small fir tree growing inside his lung. Remember when you were little, and you thought swallowing watermelon seeds would cause watermelons to grow inside you, and then you learned how that wasn't true? Apparently, our childish naivety was somewhat correct. According to Reuters, it is believed that the man inhaled a seed, which then sprouted into a small fir tree inside his lung. He went to the doctor complaining of chest pain, and after the doctors did tests, they operated immediately, assuming this man had cancer. Imagine their surprise when they found a 5 CM FIR TREE in his lung.

This really doesn't make any sense, and it is thusly baffling to scientists, like the botanist in the video, who see no way that a tree could root in a human lung. I agree with this logic, obviously, as my co-writer on this website can attest to (he calls me Dr. Science). Since all the sources are in Russian and have been poorly translated to English, we can't be sure if any of this is true anyway. I would say either this man is lying and he accidentally swallowed an entire fir tree, or he is MORMON JESUS.
