The News You Missed

A man from Russia recently went to the hospital to have a tumor removed from his lung. When the surgeons opened his lung, they found a 5 cm fir tree growing inside. You heard me right. A tree! It is presumed that he inhaled a seed and it was able to sprout. I am stunned, repulsed, and at the same time awed by the will to survive and grow, even in the harshest environments, that all living things have.
