around us.
1 A man who went to the doctor in India complaining of abdominal pain
was found to have nearly 12 pounds of metal objects in his stomach. Maksood
Khan, 28, a rickshaw driver from Satna district in the central state of
Madhya Pradesh, was admitted to Sanjay Gandhi Hospital on November 19,
2017. Doctors initially believed he was suffering from food poisoning,
until tests revealed the contents of his stomach.

2 In 2016, a 42-year-old man in the northern city of Amritsar in the
state of Punjab was operated on after he spent two months swallowing
knives. Forty knives were surgically removed from his stomach after doctors
spent almost two days forming a diagnosis and surgery plan. The man was
believed to have had a rare mental disorder. The patient told doctors that
he had no idea why he started eating knives but that he "developed a taste
for metal" and "loved the way blades tasted."
Q5 If the Earth is actually a sphere, why can't I drive in one

*CULTURAL QA 04-2024-17A*
*All the BELOW QA are from Quora digest to me on 17-04-2024.*
* Quora answers need not be 100% correct answers *

*Q1 Do you know a joke about a fishing licence?*
*A1 David Mead, 17m*
*On a bright sunny day at the lake, a man and his wife are out in a
rowboat. The man is fishing (Legally) and the wife is just laying back,
reading a book.*
*After an hour or so, the man decides to go back in to shore, but he leaves
all his rods and tackle in the boat.. His wife is having such a relaxing
time, she decides to go back out in the boat.*
*Soon, a conservation officer pulls his boat up next to the rowboat and
notices the fishing gear. He tells the woman, “I want to see your fishing
license.”*
*The woman replies, “I don’t have one, I’m not fishing, I’m just relaxing
and reading my book.”*
*The officer replies, “I’m going to have to charge you for fishing without
a license.”*
*The woman protests, “I’m not fishing!”*
*The officer states, “Lady, you were fishing. You have all the equipment to
fish. You were obviously fishing.” He proceeds to begin writing a ticket.*
*The woman calmly states, “Then I will have to charge you with attempted
rape.”*
* “What?”, howls the officer. “I never touched you!”*
*The lady replies, “You have all the equipment, it is obvious that is what
you were doing.”*
*The lady finished reading her book as the officer motored away.*
*Q2 What is the funniest joke you've been told that you still
think about to this day?*
*A2 Jimmie Stepp, Executive Powder Coater at Baremetal Inc
(2012–present)Sun*
*A Jew a Hindu and a Democrat are driving across country. Their car breaks
down on a country road late at night. They walk until they find an old farm
house. They knock on the door and explain to the farmer that they needed a
place to spend the night. The farmer says I have one spare bed room with
one bed. Two of you can sleep in the bed one will need to sleep in the
barn. The Jew says I will sleep in the barn. A few minutes late there is a
knock at the door. The farmer opens the door and the Jewish man says I
cannot sleep in the barn there is a pig in there it is against my religion.
The Hindu says I can sleep with a pig and takes off to the barn. A few
minutes later there is a knock on the door the farmer opens the door and
the Hindu says I cannot sleep in the barn there is a cow in there. They are
sacred in my religion. The democrat says. Pigs cows. Who cares I will sleep
in the barn. A few minutes later there is a knock at the door. The farmer
answers the door. It was the pig and the cow.*
*Q3 As a surgeon, what is the most shocking thing you** ever saw
after opening somebody up?*
*A3 Dr Enamul Hoque, Doctor at Government of West Bengal
(1993–present)23h*
*I am an obstetrician and gynaecologist, mbbs,dgo, ms, posted under the
government of west bengal, india. I performed one caesarean section and
delivered a healthy baby of a mother in the government settings. While
cleaning the abdomen, I could feel something unusual in the abdomen.I asked
the lady for anything abnormal activities in the past. She revealed
nothing. Observing and feeling some thing hard within the gut, I smelled
something bad which is beyond my academics and long period of service
experience. Which prompted me to curiosity and something serious issues and
deterred me from closing the abdomen from my conscience point of view. I
sent a urgent call book to my surgeon friend to come to Operation theatre
immediately and he came very soon and I explained everything to him on an
urgent basis. He became involved in the operation and we jointly decided to
explore the gut . We opened the bowel and to our utter surprise , it is
eight( 8) inches long wooden stick, which we recovered from her bowel. We
closed the abdomen and recovery of the lady was uneventful and surprisingly
satisfactory. On repeated questioning, she revealed that she had done one
abortion by a quack about 10 years back,who performed the abortion with a
long stick. I understood the matter immediately that the abortion stick had
perforated her uterus and after that it perforated her bowel and went fully
inside the bowel , to remain within it for such a long time without making
any further complications.We recovered the stick from her bowel.The matter
was published in the newspaper in the next day , as the matter in question
, is really unbelievable. Since the lady didn't give me any history, I
could have closed the abdomen as such. She might have had many problems
later on.On the part of the patient , everything should be disclosed to the
doctor for the benefit of the patient, himself/ herself. It's my sixth
sense which saved her from future further complications. Not otherwise, it
should have been informed to me by the patient which she didn't do. Moral
of the story , expect the unexpected and to be prepared for the action as
and when necessary as per the demand and gravity of the situation. In every
sphere of life, we have to act even with the sixth sense.*
*Q4 What's your favorite stupid joke?*
*A4 Gordon Hayes,Former I Spent 50 Years Carting Logs With a
Manual Gearbox Tue*
*A woman who rented a second story flat beside a railway line complained to
her landlord for months about the rattling and shaking the trains caused as
they passed. On the phone she continuously asked for a flat further from
the line but the landlord always said it can't be that bad. One day she
rang him again and said l want you to come to my flat and see for yourself
how bad it is. So the landlord arrived at her flat and she said there's a
train due in 3 minutes, so you'll see what l mean. It's worse when l'm
trying to sleep so why don't you lie on the bed beside me and you'll
experience what l'm talking about? So the landlord lay on the bed beside
her. A minute later her husband walked in and said ‘ullo ‘ullo, what's
going on ’ere then? The landlord, looking embarrassed, said you won't
believe this, but we're waiting for a train.*
*Q5 If the Earth is actually a sphere, why can't I drive in one
direction and eventually return to where I started?*
*A5 Geoffrey Widdison, Been learning science since I was six,
still getting started. Updated Feb 20*
*You know, my 7-year-old asked me exactly the same question the other day.
Now, she’s the inquisitive type, who responds to every answer by changing
the hypothetical, so I’ll recount the exchange I had with her.*
*-We can’t drive in one direction, because the roads don’t go in the same
direction forever.*
*-Well, what if they did?*
*-Then we could drive along that road until we ran out of gas.*
*-What if we had a magic car that didn’t need gas?*
*-Then we could drive until we got to the ocean, then we’d have to stop.*
*-What if we had a magic car that could drive on water?*
*-If we tried to drive on the ocean, we’d probably get swamped in bad
weather.*
*-But what if we didn’t?*
*-Then we’d get pretty hungry.*
*-What if our car had all the food and water in the world?*
*-Then we’d get pretty tired.*
*-What if we never had to sleep?*
*-Well, in that case, if we kept driving west, we’d eventually drive across
the Gulf of California, cross Baja California, drive across the Pacific
Ocean, come ashore in China, have to drive across Tibet and the Himalayas,
cross central Asia and the Middle East, drive over the Nile, cross North
Africa, then drive off into the Atlantic, drive across that ocean,
eventually hit the US East Coast again, and then drive right back home.*
*The reason we can’t do that in real life is because all of the magical
preconditions of her scenario aren’t met. Develop a car that never needs
fuel, can drive over oceans, as well as mountains, forests, swamps canyons
and sand without every refueling, and that can hold enough food and water
for the trip, then you could do it.*
*Or, for a method that doesn’t require magic (or implausible technology),
you could simply fly around the world, go in the same basic direction. If
you fly from Los Angeles to Shanghai to Islamabad to Damascus to Casablanca
to New York to Los Angeles you could end up back in the same place you
started, despite going west for every leg. Don’t believe me? Book some
airline tickets and buy a compass*
