Chinese political prisoners swallow a lot of stuff... as long as the toxicity doesn't damage transplantable organs, things should work out.

I also wondered about this from yesterday:

Researchers in Hong Kong create 'soft robot' made of magnetic slime

Researchers at The Chinese University of Hong Kong have created a "soft robot" made of slime containing magnetic particles, which can be manipulated using external magnets.

The magnetic particles are toxic, but have theoretically been made safe to enter the human body after being covered in a layer of silicone compound - although further safety testing will be needed in the future.

The team in Hong Kong hope the slime will one day be used to collect objects which have been accidentally swallowed.

I like tuna and I like pizza but that combination would make me retch.

It's not as bad as it seems. Hot tuna might not be something people think of as delicious, but the Galicians prepare a sort of tuna pie (empanada galega) that (at least in the version common in Argentina) involves hot tuna and it's really good.

Dude, tuna is a common pizza ingredient in Germany. Please stay away from the paella.

No Fish Or Shellfish in Paella, "research" shows:

Many crimes have been committed in the name of paella but now researchers in Valencia have laid down 10 commandments of what thou shall and shall not put in their national dish.

The ten permitted ingredients are: rice, water, olive oil, salt, saffron (or food colouring), tomato, flat green beans, lima beans, chicken and rabbit. No fish or shellfish. Ever.

The research was carried out by social scientists at the Universidad Católica de Valencia at the instigation of local chef Rafael Vidal. The researchers questioned 400 amateur chefs aged over 50 from 266 Valencian villages.

Is it as bad as crème fraîche on Pizza?
