Kind of reminds me when mom told me not to eat watermelon seeds or I'd grow one in my stomach. :D

That can't be real. The "xray" doesn't show any roots and the removed lung portion has the "twig" snipped with no roots. How could the needles be green without sunlight? Umm, it can't.

agreed, this has to be fake. Entertaining yes, but not true. Maybe the mythbusters could do a show on this.
