Indian surgeons find 12 gold bars in man's stomach
By Harmeet Shah Singh, CNN

New Delhi, India (CNN) -- When a team of Indian surgeons opened up the stomach of a patient complaining of abdominal pain, they had no idea they'd extract a fortune.

The patient, whose name was not released, was hiding 12 gold bars in his belly. He apparently smuggled them into India to evade import duty, police and doctors said Tuesday.

Each bar weighed 33 grams, said C.S. Ramachandran, who conducted the surgery at a hospital in New Delhi on April 9.

The 63-year-old patient, an Indian citizen, visited the hospital a day before with severe stomach pain and nausea.

"He told us he had accidentally swallowed the cap of a plastic bottle," Ramachandran said.

Can you imagine...the pain involved...had he tried to pass his shxt covered gold bars...

We don't know how they got in there, so maybe they went in through the backdoor.

Either way, if he managed to fire them with out with some pressure while taking a dump in a porcelain toilet, he might have got a bit of a surprise. blink.png

The bars were 33 grams (1 oz) not 1 kg ;) Still at $1250 a pop I hope he was planning to poo into a bag. There is more stupidity in the Universe than Hydrogen, and it has a longer shelf life.
