#1 The X-rays probably showed a big, solid mass in his gut. How much fun that must have been!

#2 This is actually a recognized mental problem, swallowing coins.

What would be the technical name, I wonder?

Nothing comes up on a quick google, but I did stumble across this:

#6 wtf are you talking about Half? They are made from the conventional 90% silver 10% copper alloy typical of all 1964 and prior dimes.

"The common name of mercury comes from The portrait on the face side of the coin is actually that of Liberty wearing a winged cap symbolizing freedom of thought. However, because of the resemblance of this portrait to Mercury, the coin has always been popularly referred to as a Mercury dime."
