How the hell can a snake survive in a stomach?

This story better be bullshiat or else I'm going to turn out the lights and go home. F*CK THAT

1864. Who knows what it really was!

It was either a snake or an evil troll causing her illness.

I've had it with these motherfarking snakes in this motherfarking stomach.

Tapeworm?

That explains the weird sentence syntax. At first, I thought it was some Google-Translated Indian or Chinese story.

I_C_Weener: Tapeworm?

I thought they were exclusively in the intestines.

And that doesn't explain the choking sensation.

My guess is cancer/a tumor.

How can a snake survive in someone's stomach? I'm swimming in hydrochloric acid... yay!

I_C_Weener: Tapeworm?

That would be my guess. Behavior sounds right.

Did they try bleeding her? I suspect the snake may be a curse for bestilling the humors and congress with demons. A good bloodletting might have helped.

THIS.

That thing wouldn't last more then a few hours, let alone not dying from lack of air.

Maybe it wasn't a snake at all?

I had no idea how old this story was when I submitted it, thought it was a little oddly worded. Anyway, I thought it would be a great headline/pic competition, per the reason voting is enabled.

For a few minutes I thought the paper finally found a journalist that knew how to write. The syntax and diction probably seem weird because they are correct and not dumbed down. Modern journalists are generally poor writers.

Actually she's a Jaffa. The snake would be the Goa'uld :p

I found that more understandable than most articles I read here. Well... if I ignore what it's actually about.

The best part? At the end of the article:
The finest journalism in Chicago? The New York Times, as low as $3.70 a week.

/That's some mighty fine journalism there, Lou.

Physicians can see no way in which the snake can be removed without certain death to the woman. Mrs. EVERS is about 35 years of age. She is, of course, feeble in health now, but is around the house.

35 was considered 'feeble'???

FTA: Her complaint has until within a short time past, baffled the skill of physicians. The complaint commenced about four years since, with a tickling and uneasy sensation about the pit of the stomach.

No, that's not "correct" grammar. Correct usage morphs and changes with time, and any style guide -- from AP to Turabian, Chicago Manual to APA, will tell you that's not correct.

So if you're using a style guide from the era, sure, it might be dandy. It's not now, though.

When desiring food it manifests it by rising up in the throat.

If you find yourself in 1864, do not get a blowjob from this woman.

A snake in the belly is better than two centipedes surgically affixed to one's mouth and anus.

/Or so Roger Ebert says.
