When I first read the title, I thought it said "Man grows a 5 centipede in his lung." There's an interesting thought.

Unless that's an imperial ruler it looks like it's about 2.5 centimeter long.
The odds of him somehow inhaling that thing seem to be a tad larger than him growing that in there.

You've no idea what you've invoked by mentioning centipedes, have you? |

Look at the left part of the lung tissue, it goes all the way through. |

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

No, Russia is just the Weekly World News of real life.

Yeah this story is bollocks. There's no roots on the thing in that picture. Plus, inside lungs? No light. No light, no photosynthesis. No photosynthesis, no growth of fir tree. And this story was on the BBC website yesterday. My opinion of journalism gets lower every day.  |

No, because I had G.I. Joes and didn't grow up on a farm in bumfuck Iowa.  |

Given adequate nutrients plants can grow quite a bit without (and in search of) sunlight.

I would surmise it's because the seeds are built to start growing in lightless conditions (e.g. under soil or in a pile of poop or in the shadow of the parent plant), and then grow up and out as quickly as possible so they can find the light. Once they find light, they can start photosynthesizing and storing energy.

Yes, lift up a pile of leaves and look at the failing plants growing under there. Don't you people do yardwork?
That said, the photo looks like a cutting, not a growth. No root system, clean cut on the stem.

OK, I'll concede the no-light thing, but: That said, the photo looks like a cutting, not a growth. No root system, clean cut on the stem.
Yeah! Don't interrupt my raging hatred of the media, biatches!  |
