That 5.26 in. (133.604) mm stone had to be surgically removed, as a 4 mm stone has an 80% chance of passing on its own, and a 5 mm stone has a 20% chance of passing without assistance. I know, not just from nursing school, but I’ve had over five stones. One was 10 mm, but it broke up before I could schedule lithotripsy. BTW, they hurt.

So they did what Christ said to do and built the house on a rock.
Coonistus Cange One time I was 63 years old. One time I was 5.27 inches tall. One time I weighed 1.77 pounds.

You can cut me wide open to get that kidney stone, imagine passing that?

Which was more expensive and/or futile, the sample of the Earth’s mantle or the sample of an asteroid a billion miles away?

In theory, physicists knew that antimatter should behave just like matter under gravity’s pull. But until now, no one had ever seen it happen.

I hope the poor man got to keep his kidney stone. Seems only fair.

They found a 90 mile long 5 billion ton kidney stone in the earth’s mantle. That’s why we’ve been having all these earthquakes.

STRANGELY BELIEVE IT
When Beavis and Butthead saw the sectional diagram of the subterranean Earth, one said to the other…. “Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core.”
The other answered…. “Heh heh heh…. You said ‘inner core’….”

I’m surprised they didn’t use the ultra-sonic probes to shatter the stone so it could be extracted laparoscopically

Doesn’t the Earth spit those out every time a volcano has an eruption?
