So I just swallowed a Gnat.

[Crafty Kisses]

Yeah I was yawning and BAM! A Gnat went into the back of my throat, I coughed and coughed, then I drank a bottle of water very quickly, now I'm drinking a Red Bull, first time this has happened to me. :(

Gnat? Is that another GNU project?

You didn't chew first?

I thought about it, but decided I was hungrier than usual, so I just stuffed my face.

The title of this thread made me think of that too.

No, it's actually GNU's Alternate Title.

Mmmmm protein.

Mmmmm protein.

Which has to be broken down into its component amino acids to be used.

[potatan]

Now you need to swallow a spider to get rid of the gnat.
Followed by a bird... then a cat...dog... I'd be worried if I was you

You think that's bad..
I once breathed in a midge (I think I coughed as a swarm flew into my face).. felt the thing in my lungs for a week! Seriously!

This summer I inhaled a fruit fly at work.
I work for a produce distributor, perhaps that's why a fruit fly was there.

Anyway, I breathed in and 'fwooop' 'hack' 'gawk' then up it came, took it out and there it was.

Inhaling fruit flies is not on my top ten list of great experiences.

Nice. Don't try this at home folks -- though it's awesomely hillarious to hear about.

Or, in emoticons: =D>[-X\\:D/:lolflag:

Thankfully it wasn't a camel.

I swallowed a fly once, it was a very strange moment to say the least :p

There was a young man who who swallowed a gnat
I don't why he swallowed the gnat
I guess he'll turn into a bat

"The Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly)
