Scientists ate Lego heads to see how long it’d take to poop them out

Let’s see ‘em do the Firewalk!

Thank you for sifting through the article...or for your eyewitness account! I suspect across the Chickadees you’ve had plenty of experience.

Corn works as well, just don’t chew.

[Yaelle]

Shhhhhh. Do not tell my little girl about this test. She has a zillion LEGO heads and bodies, frequently apart from one another.

Also, inquiring minds... how much federal funding went to this crappy experiment?

Parent training...

[Yaelle]

O my gosh!
Cruel and unusual!
The store should be thrown in prison!

[TADSLOS]

LMAO!

[Typelouder]

To find the Lego in their stool, they stepped on it...in the dark.

Somebody really needed to publish a paper.

Sounds like a San Fagsicko party stunt to me.

I looked at the full article. I never bother to check on the digestion of foreign objects. That’s between the eater and his or her bowels.

Nobody ever turned up with symptoms that required emergency medical care.

Wouldn’t they be Heados, not Legos ?
I know, just as stupid as their study.

This story was in the Guinness Book of World Records for years:

They gave him a careful checkup, then—believe it or not—recovered 258 objects from his stomach. Included in the items were 26 keys, 39 nail files, three sets of rosary beads, 16 religious medals, one bracelet, one necklace, three metal chains, one beer-can opener, one knife blade, four nail clippers, three pairs of tweezers, and 88 assorted coins.

There’s no way I’d put my name on a research paper on this.

My worst enemy’s?? In a heartbeat!

I did not rely on my sibling's digestive tract for my data. As a young budding scientist, I did my own research with pennies. My FART score was 2½ days.

The rule in my house was - if I step on a Lego it goes in the trash.

As a result my wood floors were remarkably free of Lego's.

Dog: “Yeah… And they call us dumb!”

I applaud these Doctors for their inguinity in getting their message out, and for their sense of humour. SHAT and FART scores, indeed! Also: “no turd went unturned”. I doubt they got grant money for this.
