Russian surgeons found a tiny 5cm fur tree growing in a guy's lung.

The guy came in coughing up blood, and at first the doctors thought it was the usual suspect, a tumor. Well, the surgeons cut out the suspect part of the lung to do a biopsy to check for cancer and found something from the twilight zone.

A tiny fur tree seedling got into the lung and started to grow. The needles, needless to say, were not exactly comfortable.

Some things are impossible. This sounds silly and impossible but I won't say that it is. I do hope that if this is true, the person is doing well.
Now more then ever you can't be sure if what you hear is true or not.

With my personal experience, seeds can germinate in the dark provided there is moisture. Plants breathe carbon dioxide. It is remotely possible a seedling might have sprouted in a man's lung. A weed actually sprouted in a clod of dirt lodged in a horse's hoof...that I saw with my own eyeballs.
