PHUKET, Mar 12 (TNA) - Doctors in Thailand's southern resort province of Phuket were left perplexed today over the mysterious case of a teenage construction worker who was admitted to hospital after vomiting a three-inch nail, a knot and a length of string.

The mystery deepened when the 17 year-old, Mr. Samorn Ngamphosri, who hails from the north-eastern province of Buriram, claimed never to have knowingly ingested any of the objects.

Mr. Samorn was rushed to Patong Hospital last night complaining of severe stomach ache.

After vomiting out the objects, he was transferred to the larger Wachira Phuket Hospital, where an x-ray determined the presence of another one-inch nail lodged in his intestines.

Doctors said that they would be forced to operate unless he vomited it out.

Mr. Samorn, who prior to the December tsunamis worked as a kitchen assistant in a local restaurant, admitted to being as baffled as the doctors over how the objects had got inside his stomach.

He said that he had no enemies, and that he had never eaten any nails, knots or string.

Was he caught in the tsunami? If so, then could it be possible that he swallowed water containing these objects and not have realized it? Although, I don't know how one could swallow nails and not realize it...

maybe in his sleep? that's wierd.

I have my money on a dare that went south.

That is so weird, if he wasn't caught in the tsunami he'd have to know how they got there.
Probably too embarrassed to say.

So werid, he didnt get caught!

I think I saw this on Ripleys Believe It Or Not, blah.
