The unnamed 24-year-old rushed to the Rangueil Accident and Emergency unit in Toulouse, in the south west of the country, late on Saturday night (stock image).

    This is more than mildly interesting OP. You’re lost.

    Could there be a more compelling anti-war message than the places we’re still finding shells a century later?

      That’s not very compelling.

    There was no initial explanation as to why the shell ended up in the man’s body, but local media speculated that it might have had something to do with his social life.

    tl;dr: he was walking with it and tripped, and his ass landed on it and it slipped in.

    The daily mail? You could have cross-posted this perfectly reasonable story: https://feddit.org/post/25268119

    They say you gotta be careful of where you dig in Europe, as to not disturb live explosives from old wars. But this is just getting out of hand!

    24 year old man with artillery in his rectum: “Ooo, how did that get there? I didn’t notice one going down when I was eating. I thought it was a bit uncomfortable when I tried to poop. Well thank you for sorting that out for me. I couldn’t kee… No, no, ok, I guess you’re right.”

    Older, wiser, less desperately horny men: if it doesn’t have a flared base, or if there’s any possibility it could come apart or break, don’t put it in. Source: the internet.
