Frenchman hospitalized after inserting WWI munition up his rear

A recent incident in France has drawn attention for its unusual nature. A 24-year-old Frenchman was hospitalized after inserting a World War I munition into his body. The object, an 8-inch long 37mm shell, was discovered by doctors at Rangueil Hospital in Toulouse, where the man was being treated for unspecified pain.

The medical staff were able to remove the shell, which was unexploded at the time. The hospital is reportedly accustomed to treating injuries related to sexual activities, but this case was unusual due to the nature of the object involved. Further details about the incident are available from French newspaper La Dépêche, which reported on the story.

The incident has also been noted for surpassing a previous case in England involving a World War II anti-tank shell.
