Surely there can't be many people who think these are nails . . . apart from journalists, obviously.

Sadly it is probably irrelevant to most people today crying 2

A little harsh ! The photo has a caption,” Nuts and bolts - file image’. The article says,”A Lithuanian man has had more than a kilogram of nails, screws, nuts and knives removed from his stomach by doctors, local media report. “ so the picture is not completely irrelevant !

Perhaps he was suffering from a lack of iron ?

Farmboy, I suspect you are right, most people would not know the difference.

PS, I wonder did he bolt his food, or was he screwed somewhere along the line ?

Just wondering .laugh

Looking at the contents that were in the stomach they're incredibly clean.
