webfact Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Indian surgeons find 12 gold bars in man's stomachBy Harmeet Shah Singh, CNNNew 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.Full story: http://edition.cnn.com/2014/04/22/world/asia/india-stomach-surgery-gold/index.html-- CNN 2014-04-23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

GentlemanJim Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 < Can you imagine...the pain involved...had he tried to pass his shxt covered gold bars... 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.
