    Am I the only one who noticed the fly in that video? I can't tell if the fly was on the television monitor while they were filming the footage or if the fly was actually on the open lung tissue in the operating room...

    Well, sure, it's on TV, so it must be true. Let's see... Heroes, Smallville, BSG, Stargate, Fringe...


    Ahh! Wait!! I got it! They need to contact Dr. Greg House to explain it all.

    According to experts, the plant would need light, water, and carbon dioxide.


    Yeah, where would a plant get water/moisture and carbon dioxide in a human lung. It's not like we breathe out Co2 or moisture. WOW, what an idiot. I can honestly believe it. A plant/pod has enough stored energy/food to break through the surface after it is buried. And I am guessing that enough light might just pass through, even diffused, the human chest cavity to allow it to attain growth to such a small height.
