What's the largest object a human has ever swallowed?
Just something out of curiousity. Do any of you have the answer?

My penis.

Does it have to be rigid?

Does it have to go down and stay down?

How do you define large?

A snake once swallowed a 59kg impala.

That's as heavy as this gymnast:

Hmm. Maybe I should have asked more specific questions. I don't know if I can explain this very well . . .

Um. Yes. Because I can imagine someone could swallow a bunch of string that could be really long. But it CAN be a fish or something (which is somewhat flexible, but you can't really make it much smaller than it is).

It should fit through the esophagus without choking someone (if that's possible!) on the way down, but it might not be completely digestible.

Hmm . . . Well, not like a string. That's too narrow. In diameter and length, or possibly just diameter.

I am afraid I'm probably not helping to clarify my meaning.

That's a snake, though. Not a human. :Cheeky:

Bush Administration's warplan?

I mean, the joke is way too obvious, and I don't really mean it, I could have chosen any number of examples.

All at once? Some people have eaten cars and busses one bit at a time over months or years.

All at once.

I'm still pretty damned impressed with eating a bus in pieces.

But a city one or a private coach though? I don't even want to touch the seats on a city one. I'd have to wash all of the pieces pretty well. And use a lot of Sriracha sauce.
