Some weird stuff comes out of human bodies.

The page comes up but only the header.

Probably is a scam but maybe she's giving off crystals of whatever uric acid compound causes gout?

Some really disgusting stuff has been known to come out of humans. Blood, puss, earwax, snot, and gems. Yep, a girl is shooting beads of a crystaline substance resembling gems from her big toe. Doctors are baffled. I suspect she's faking it in some kind of publicity scam, but it is weird.

Wow. Next thing you know, we will have rappers that produce their own platinum "grills".

"Shit son, you see my new grill?"

"Naw open up and lemme see it"

"Bling bling baby, these things grew in last night!"

a couple of months ago there was a very similar article posted here, about a girl who could shoot shards from her forhead instead of her big toe. the girl was indian or something, and people were wondering if she could use it to fend of possible attackers by shooting them at high velocity from her forehead. unfortunalty she couldn't and it hurt her i think.

I'm very skeptical, that article's extremely light on for detail. It would be a cool ability to have though.

Wow - you found a page that actually loads slower than NS...

I'm not sure about the picture, but even I can think of one medical condition that can cause the symptoms she describes - although the 'gems' wouldn't look much like the picture suggests.

(That would be gout, and the crystals are Uric Acid crystals. They also just work their way out through the skin, they don't pop out from under the nail).

This reminds me of that other post about someone who had glass coming out of her head. Why are they calling her a girl? She's 23 years old!
A medical specialist has expressed interest in checking Siti’s condition, describing that it was unusual.
lol :p

That's why I always sheath it when I don't need to cut with it. :)

Pffrt, I can secrete a white slimey substance from my body.

That was too much, wasn't it?:D

If that happened, that would hurt like hell. Her toenail also wouldn't seal itself back onto her toe. +1 for creativity though.

Don't those come out of a human body, too?

Just wait until I start replacing my body parts with artificial ones...I'll bleed respirocytes, cry synthetic tears, and dream of electric sheep.

And then you can answer the question, do androids dream of electric sheep? ;)

I wonder how Phillip K. Dick would react if I answered the question...

Of course, since he'll probably have been dead for 40 years I don't think I can really know.

Going by the title, this could have been a far worse thread.

Yeah, even worse than that...

That girl is one mutant gene away from being able to coat a whole lot of things in nice shiny crystal.
