Talk about a little change in his diet ...

French doctors were surprised to find the reason for their patient's sore, swollen stomach - he had swallowed 350 coins and assorted necklaces and needles. That's about 12 pounds worth of coins, enough to force his stomach down between his hips, and they were swallowed over the space of a decade. Surgery was performed to remove the badly damaged stomach and its contents, but the patient died from complications 12 days later.
