FA Cup attendee arrested over "disgusting" Hillsborough shirt

<p>A man has been arrested over the “disgusting” shirt he chose to wear while attending the FA Cup Final. </p> <p>The garment, which appeared to refer to the 97 fans who lost their lives in the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, saw 33-year-old James White face charges over “displaying threatening or abusive writing likely to cause harassment, alarm, or distress”. The shirt featured the number 97 in a large font on the back, with the text “Not Enough” sprawled above it. </p> <p>The 1989 tragedy occurred on April 15, when almost 100 people - consisting mostly of Liverpool supporters - were killed in a crowd crush at Hillsborough Stadium during an FA Cup Semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. A further 766 people were injured. </p> <p>Widespread attention was first brought to the offensive shirt when one Twitter user called for the “absolute clown to be identified”, asking how “97 people dying” had become “fair game”.</p> <p>“Get this man’s face spread across social media ASAP,” another urged, “he needs to face repercussions.”</p> <p>His image quickly made the rounds, with hundreds calling him out for his insensitive actions, and consequently White was arrested during the match. </p> <p>The Metropolitan Police Events Twitter confirmed the news, sharing an update to their account that explained they had “worked proactively” with Wembley Stadium officials, and that the man had “been arrested on suspicion of a public order offence and taken into custody.”</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en"><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ARREST?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#ARREST</a> | We are aware of this and have worked proactively with officials at <a href="https://twitter.com/wembleystadium?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@wembleystadium</a> to identify the individual. </p> <p>He has been arrested on suspicion of a public order offence and taken into custody. <a href="https://t.co/PNVzEhKzgZ">https://t.co/PNVzEhKzgZ</a></p> <p>— Metropolitan Police Events (@MetPoliceEvents) <a href="https://twitter.com/MetPoliceEvents/status/1665029777676173320?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 3, 2023</a></p></blockquote> <p>And in a statement from the FA, a spokesperson declared that the organisation “strongly condemns the actions of the individual who wore a shirt referencing the Hillsborough disaster”. </p> <p>They went on to note that they had seen the photo on social media, and worked quickly to identify “the perpetrator”. </p> <p>“We will not tolerate abuse relating to Hillsborough or any football tragedy at Wembley Stadium,” they said, “and we will continue to work with the authorities to ensure strong action is taken against perpetrators.” </p> <p>Later, photos from the moment of his arrest were posted, with the Hillsborough Survivors Support Alliance tweeting that “this [should] be a warning to anyone else thinking of doing anything similar. And that goes for using ANY tragedy”, alongside an image of White surrounded by police officers. </p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Let this be a warning to anyone else thinking of doing anything similar. And that goes for using ANY tragedy <a href="https://t.co/xwqAGgAAxe">pic.twitter.com/xwqAGgAAxe</a></p> <p>— Hillsborough Survivors Support Alliance ( HSA ) (@HillsboroughSu1) <a href="https://twitter.com/HillsboroughSu1/status/1665043289660174338?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 3, 2023</a></p></blockquote> <p>An account for The Kenny Dalglish Stand shared the news too, noting that the arrest was “Justice for the 97, forever in our Hearts peacefully up in Heaven”, and that the man behind it all was a “disrespectful, unthoughtful, f***er”. As they pointed out as well, “the game had nothin' to do with @LFC so what’s his motivation to commit such a disgraceful act!!!”</p> <p>“It’s utterly disgusting and disgraceful that someone even printed it on the shirt for him!” one user agreed in the comments. “I got banned yesterday for sharing this photo with some swearing on…I seriously hope he gets what he deserves”.</p> <p>“It’s absolutely disgusting,” another said. “I hope he gets what’s coming to him. I’m a Newcastle fan and I’ve been to a field and have laid flowers down and stood for a while thinking of those that sadly lost their lives that day. I’m disgusted beyond words. My love and thoughts go out to all”. </p> <p><em>Images: Twitter</em></p>

“Disgusting”: Wedding guest’s entitled RSVP slammed

<p dir="ltr">A bride-to-be was left shocked after one entitled guest sent an RSVP back for her wedding with a list of “unhinged” demands.</p> <p dir="ltr">The couple had sent an invitation for just two people, but they decided that this would be the perfect time for a family trip and RSVP’d for six people instead.</p> <p dir="ltr">“We should arrive Thurs late afternoon in our motorhome. We have a screened-in cabana room. We can all sleep in our motorhome, we’ll need to hook up power,” they wrote in the invitation.</p> <p dir="ltr">“We will need a ride to all wedding festivities. We would be happy to host a breakfast Friday morning for all at your home, took a lot of planning for us to make this trip. Looking forward to all the fun.”</p> <p dir="ltr">The photo of the invitation, which was posted on Facebook, has since been slammed.</p> <p dir="ltr">The photo was posted with the caption: “Shaming this guest who apparently is bringing the whole family when just two people were invited AND making travel accommodation demands, all while guilt-tripping the guide. Update: [the] couple has rescinded their invite to this guest”.</p> <p dir="ltr">A lot of people were outraged on the bride’s behalf, and shocked at the audacity of some wedding guests.</p> <p dir="ltr">“Disgusting. You call and talk to make plans even if they were close enough, which it doesn’t seem like they are, to make these requests,” wrote one person.</p> <p dir="ltr">“Wow. No. It’s wild to me that people think they can still bring extra guests, let alone make the logistics of their transportation on the day of the wedding the bride and groom’s problem. How are some people so oblivious?” commented another person.</p> <p dir="ltr">“I’m still stuck on the audacity to write down six [guests] when it sounds like the invite specified only two,” commented a third.</p> <p dir="ltr">Others shared their own wedding invitation horror stories.</p> <p dir="ltr">“We had a guest try to bring a partner and five uninvited kids (some adults), when we said it wasn't possible they acted like we were unreasonable and said we could just 'pull up a few extra chairs to a table’,” one person revealed.</p> <p dir="ltr">To which another quipped: “This also happened to me, but the intended invitees (my cousin and her husband) crossed their names out and put her mum and dad, brother AND his wife down as attending ‘in her place’. We tried so hard to circumvent problems by putting each person’s full name on the RSVP card and it still happens”.</p> <p><em>Images: Facebook</em></p>

“This is disgusting”: Mural for murdered women defaced with graffiti

<p dir="ltr">A street artist has been captured painting over a mural depicting the names and photos of women murdered across Australia in acts of domestic violence. </p> <p dir="ltr">The mural, plastered on Melbourne’s famous Hosier Lane, depicts some of the almost 80 women killed since the start of 2023, and the locations they died around Australia. </p> <p dir="ltr">The mural also shows the alarming statistics of domestic violence across Australia in data compiled by The RED HEART Campaign - an ongoing memorial project dedicated to tracking the known women and children killed in acts of gendered violence.</p> <p dir="ltr">The mural was painted in the lane on International Women’s Day (March 8th), and was defaced just 10 days later. </p> <p dir="ltr">An unknown street artist was captured on video spray painting over the women’s faces, with the words “13 WOLF 69” covering most of the mural, as the beginning of a large orange text covering the southeast corner of the map.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">When murdered women are erased for the second time! <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/femicide?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#femicide</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/shematters?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#shematters</a> <a href="https://t.co/TYpLQFmpCx">pic.twitter.com/TYpLQFmpCx</a></p> <p>— Sherele Moody (Femicide Researcher) 🌈 (@ShereleMoody) <a href="https://twitter.com/ShereleMoody/status/1636880510269128705?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 18, 2023</a></p></blockquote> <p dir="ltr">The video, posted by the campaign founder Sherele Moody, then pans slowly to capture the artist still spraying the wall with orange paint – what seem to be the finishing touches to the large piece that stretches for metres toward Flinders Street.</p> <p dir="ltr">“That’s more important, that’s lovely,” someone can be heard sarcastically saying in the footage.</p> <p dir="ltr">“That’s not even art!”</p> <p dir="ltr">Sherele captioned the video as an example of “when murdered women are erased for a second time”.</p> <p dir="ltr">“The dude could have moved his scribble a few feet and not painted over the faces of murdered women,” she added.</p> <p dir="ltr">“The Lane is pretty big – there’s room for all of us!”</p> <p dir="ltr">Supporters of the campaign immediately reacted in disgust to the “selfish, heartless artist”, with many saying the disregard for the mural really “hurts”.</p> <p dir="ltr">“What the actual f,” one woman wrote.</p> <p dir="ltr">“This is disgusting. This is about murdered women and a memorial. When did we become so disrespectful.”</p> <p dir="ltr">While most of the backlash was in support of the advocates, others questioned whether the artist was even aware of what he had done or was partially covering. </p> <p dir="ltr">Others simply said it was the harsh nature of Melbourne’s internationally renowned street art culture.</p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Image credits: Twitter</em></p>

“You are disgusting”: Prince William accuses man of stalking his children

Podcast hosts slammed for disgusting remarks about women's postpartum bodies

<p><em>Image: Getty </em></p> <p>The male hosts of a concerning new podcast have received major backlash over comments made claiming they’d leave their future wife if she didn’t lose weight after giving birth.</p> <p>Brothers Anthony Casasanta and Nick Casasanta launched “The No Filter Pod” earlier this month with friend Jason Girratano – describing it as “the most blunt podcast in the world”.</p> <p>While their show is deliberately “controversial”, many are condemning the show over comments made by Anthony about a potential future wife’s body after she gives birth to his child.</p> <p>The comments have been quickly gone viral, with women branding them “disgusting”, “horrendous” and “God awful”.</p> <p>In a statement issued to news.com.au, “The No Filter Pod” said the comments had been taken “out of context” but doubled down on the controversial remarks.</p> <p>“We just don’t want our wives to be obese. We feel as if society promotes obesity which is a very unhealthy and uncomfortable way of living.</p> <p>“We promote healthy lifestyles here at NoFilterPod. It’s also not only about weight gain after childbirth, it’s also about mental health as well as the physical health. We feel like it’s very important to hold spouses both men and women to a high standard.”</p> <p>The backlash was sparked by the men themselves, who all play NFL in the US, after they shared the clip on TikTok, asking: “Is this too much?”</p> <p>“If my wife lets herself go after I have kids with her, I’m going to tell her once,” Anthony tells Nick and Jason.</p> <p>“‘If you don’t get your sh*t together, because I still want to be sexually attracted to my wife, my spouse, but if you can’t do that, I’m out’.”</p> <p>The guys said they were prepared a negative reaction but received an avalanche of a response, predominantly condemning the view and labelling it “misogynistic”.</p> <p>“We really feel as the video was taken out of context,” the trio said in a statement.</p> <p>“We will not be apologising.”</p> <p>Women have fought back in droves, with many creating videos in response to the clip, while others flooded the guys social media feeds with their thoughts forcing the podcast hosts to turn off comments.</p> <p>“Where is the respect, the love, the admiration for his partner. I actually feel sorry for him. Clearly he has no idea what love is,” one woman said.</p> <p>As one simply stated: “I can’t even comment on this cus the outrage is just UNREAL.”</p> <p>Comments on the guys’ personal Instagram accounts, which haven’t yet been disabled, displayed a similar response.</p> <p>“You’ve made a fool of yourself and you’ve made an already foolish world more worrisome,” one raged.</p> <p>“Why are you turning off your comments? yallll are a joke and can’t take the heat,” another lamented.</p> <p>Anthony, Nick and Jason have claimed they are receiving death threats over the outcry but have continued to post clips on TikTok on topics surrounding cheating, “fitness chicks” and female vs male value.</p> <p>According to the boys, girls who workout are “superior to all women”, calling them “top of the line”.</p> <p>They also reckon “girls cheat more than guys” and women seek “financial security from their husbands” citing that all they ask for in return is that “you don’t sleep around with like 50 other dudes”.</p> <p>These statements have obviously not gone down well, with words such as “repulsive”, “vile” and “red flag” being used to describe them in the comments.</p>

Woman shares disgusting discovery lurking in her hairbrush

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A woman on TikTok has shared her disgusting discovery she made when she decided to wash her hair brushes for the first time, and has warned others not to make the same mistake. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The woman shared the video of her deciding to wash her brushes after seeing a salon owner cleanse her hair tools in order to prevent your hair from getting greasy. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She placed her hair brush in her bathroom sink with hot water and shampoo for a deep clean. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After leaving the brushes for an hour, the woman returned to the bathroom to find the water had gone brown. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Oh my god, that’s disgusting,” she exclaimed. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">"Ladies, don't forget to wash your hairbrushes. I didn't even know that was a thing. Look at the state of that."</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The video has been viewed over 3.8 million times, with her followers also sharing their shock at the results. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">"I'm buying a new hair brush and starting from scratch," one person commented.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">"Goes and washes hair brushes now," another said.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While most people were shocked at the idea, some were surprised that this didn’t seem to be a well known fact. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">"This confuses me that people didn't know this. It's the same as washing your makeup brushes," one person pointed out.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The salon owner who posted the original video said that a dirty hairbrush could be the reason people suffer from greasy hair. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As you use your brush, the grease and oil from your hair builds up and sits in your brush until it’s next use, and ends up getting transferred back to your hair. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So, go and wash your hair brushes and see if you can see the difference in your hair. </span></p> <p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Image credits: TikTok @everythingtidy</span></em></p>

Unbelievable: Man's messy response to in-flight meal

Woolworths accused of “disgusting” Anzac biscuit scandal

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Woolworths has rejected claims it renamed Anzac biscuits after social media outrage caused by a recent recipe in one of its catalogues.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Posts appearing on Facebook and Twitter suggested the supermarket giant had succumbed to “cancel culture” by removing the word Anzac from its biscuit recipes.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the lead-up to Anzac Day, Woolworths featured a recipe for Golden Oat Biscuits in one of its catalogues.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Noticing the striking similarity between the oat biscuits and the traditional Anzac biscuits, one person claimed, “Woolworths in their woke wisdom has changed the name of Anzac biscuits calling them golden oats because it may insult some people.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another shopper claimed the name change was “disgusting and a slap in the face for our Anzacs”, vowing to never shop at the supermarket again.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Clarification came when a spokesperson told Yahoo News Australia the biscuits were not called Anzac Day biscuits out of respect for the strict guidelines set by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The Department of Veterans’ Affairs has strict regulations around the word Anzac and how it can be used on products or in marketing,” they said.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We didn’t have the relevant approvals to use the term for this particular recipe placement in the catalogue and wanted to ensure we respected the regulations.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img style="width: 500px; height:335.4166666666667px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7840941/woolworths-biscuits.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/3499d58e56df4033b6242382ddd4640c" /></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Companies considering using the word Anzac in their products need to be approved by the department first, which Woolworths did not pursue in this instance.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Yahoo News Australia understands the Golden Oat Biscuits recipe has featured in previous catalogues.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The spokesperson reiterated Anzac biscuits were still available to purchase and had been approved for sale, with proceeds helping raise funds for veterans and their families.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Yahoo News Australia also reached out to the Department of Veterans’ Affairs to clarify on what the approved recipe is and whether Woolworths recipe would have been approved if an application had been submitted.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Comparing a 2014 recipe published by the department against the Woolworths recipe, both recipes feature the same ingredients but they use varying measures.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to the guidelines, “The use of the word ‘Anzac’ in the commercial production and sale of Anzac biscuits is usually approved, however the biscuits must not substantially deviate from the generally accepted recipe and shape, and must be referred to as ‘Anzac Biscuits’”.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The biscuits must avoid any additions such as chocolate chips and must not be called cookies.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"></span></p> <p><strong>Image credit: Woolworths</strong></p>

<p><span>Serena Williams' husband has copped a lashing online after he came for a tennis star on Tuesday night.</span><br /><br /><span>Williams' has fought tooth and nail to get into the Australian Open semi-finals with a sensational straight sets win over Simona Halep.</span><br /><br /><span>Alexis Ohanian — who co-founded popular online forum Reddit — took to Twitter to call out Romanian Olympic tennis star, tournament organised and billionaire businessman Ion Tirac.</span><br /><br /><span>After he said Williams' should quit because of her age and weight, Ohanian wrote: “Good thing no one listens to that racist sexist (clown emoji) Ion Tiriac.”</span><br /><br /><span>“This is my wife. I have a platform. I have privilege. If I can use my platform + privilege to make a billionaire even a little uncomfortable about racist + sexist statements he’s made, it’s a win. Bonus is that other people will see it and reflect on it.”</span></p> <p><img style="width: 500px; height: 281.25px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7839938/serena-williams-1.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/d44c55689fda4b37bffd1b7cec59e5b8" /><br /><br /><span>Earlier this year Tiriac said of Williams: “At this age and the weight she is now, she does not move as easily as she did 15 years ago.</span><br /><br /><span>“Serena was a sensational player. If she had a little decency, she would retire.”</span><br /><br /><span>Tiriac has attacked Williams multiple times, including in 2018 when he was asked about her, saying: “With all due respect, 36 years old and 90kg …”</span><br /><br /><span>At the time, the 23-time grand slam champion hit back saying: “It’s an ignorant comment and it’s a sexist comment. Maybe he’s an ignorant man.”</span><br /><br /><span>But Tiriac’s son Alexandru didn’t take kindly to Ohanian’s insult on Tuesday night.</span><br /><br /><span>He took to social media to share an open letter he wrote to the tech guru.</span><br /><br /><span>“To Mrs Williams’ husband, I read your tweet with a mix of disbelief and disgust,” Alexandru wrote.</span><br /><br /><span>“The name Tiriac has a 70-year tradition in the world of sports and the gentleman you are referring to has written a few important chapters that have contributed to the book of tennis along these decades.</span><br /><br /><span>“From the player, to the coach, to the manager, to the tournament promoter, the respected person you are bad wording in these derogatory terms has (been) and still is, at the age of 82, one of the strongest advocates of this sport.</span><br /><br /><span>“The respect he has (Ion Tiriac) for Mrs. Williams is tremendous, as it should be.</span></p> <p><span>Alexandru Tiriac continued by saying: “She is and will remain in history as one of the best 20-25 players who have highly contributed to this sport.</span><br /><br /><span>“She has a personality that has opened many doors for young generations of athletes, in all fields of sports and in all social walks of life. For that, we are very grateful to her.</span><br /><br /><span>“Mr Williams', the only reason I reply to your unnecessary tweet is that words are misused and misinterpreted in today’s world through the various platforms in existence.</span><br /><br /><span>“Free speech should not be wrongly replaced with inappropriate slander.</span><br /><br /><span>“As Mrs Williams’ husband, you can no longer only represent your own views when you talk about sports, but also the voice of an icon.</span><br /><br /><span>“It would be a real shame to cast an erroneous image on her legacy through emotional baseless tweets.”</span></p>

Novak Djokovic’s “disgusting” meltdown

<p><span>Novak Djokovic has been unceremoniously called out by fans and Australian Open viewers after throwing an ugly tantrum that resulted in a destroyed racquet and a code violation.</span><br /><br /><span>The world no. 1 has battled his way into the semi-finals, but not without smashing his racquet into pieces – forcing a ball girl to sweep debris off the court.</span><br /><br /><span>Djokovic dealt with a gruelling slugfest for almost four hours, against German Alexander Zverev, but did go on to win their quarter-final 6-7 (8-6) 6-2 6-4 7-6 (8-6) on Tuesday night.</span></p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/WATCH?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#WATCH</a>: Novak Djokovic took his frustrations out on his racquet, leading to a code violation. The World No.1's outburst was so explosive that a ballgirl was forced to pick up the debris minutes afterwards with a dustpan. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/9Today?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#9Today</a> <a href="https://t.co/ChRYdFWKwO">pic.twitter.com/ChRYdFWKwO</a></p> — The Today Show (@TheTodayShow) <a href="https://twitter.com/TheTodayShow/status/1361757870325383173?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 16, 2021</a></blockquote> <p><br /><span>It was during his third that he was set off and obliterated his racquet. The spark of frustration seemed to kickstart him to comeback in the set however, after falling behind 4-1 in the third.</span><br /><br /><span>"It was a relief for me, but I wouldn't recommend this kind of relief channelling," Djokovic said.</span><br /><br /><span>"I'm not proud of these kind of moments....I have my own demons that I have to fight with, and I'm sure everybody else has them too."</span><br /><br /><span>Djokovic is currently recovering from an abdominal strain, saying he has “never experienced this kind of injury during a grand slam and (been able to) keep going.”</span><br /><br /><span>"The positive thing is that I actually felt the best from the beginning of the second set until the end of the match that I have since when the injury happened.”</span><br /><br /><span>Fans were less than impressed with Djokovic's outburst, and took to Twitter to share their frustrations.</span><br /><br /><span>“Djokovic cannot behave himself. After all his success he is still a jerk and if he's injured well all players deal with injuries,” one user wrote.</span><br /><br /><span>Another said: “Players smashing their racquet in frustration in tennis is rubbish. Tell them they have to keep using it.”</span><br /><br /><span>Some defended the abrasive move though, with one person writing: “Handling emotions is tough. Not saying that it is acceptable, but it is a normal human behavior when someone is ultra competitive.”</span><br /><br /><span>A second person went on to add: “These people are way too soft to be following any sports in general.</span><br /><br /><span>“Djokovic said after the match that he doesn't recommend smashing a racquet but it happens in the heat of the moment and so many players smash racquets yet he is the only one who gets crucified for it.”</span></p>

Doctors uncover disgusting find in man’s unbearably blocked nose

<p>Zhang Binsheng, 30, went to the doctors after struggling to breathe for the last three months. His symptoms were so severe that he could not sleep properly at night and reported smelling “decay” out of one nostril.</p> <p>The doctors advised him to undergo an X-ray, where a shadow of ‘high density’ material was uncovered at the back of his nasal cavity.</p> <p>Zhang was left stunned when medics explained that it was his own tooth.</p> <p>“(It) looked a lot like a tooth,” Dr Bai Zhibang, a deputy director at the hospital’s ear, nose and throat department, told <em><a rel="noopener" href="https://www.pearvideo.com/video_1620810" target="_blank" title="www.pearvideo.com">Pear Video</a></em>.</p> <p>The tooth had been knocked out of Zhang’s mouth when he fell from the fourth floor of a mall at the age of ten and had managed to root and grow in his nasal cavity.</p> <p>This means that the tooth had been growing in Zhang’s nose for the last twenty years.</p> <p>Doctor Guo Longmei explained that the reason that the body hadn’t rejected the tooth was because it was Zhangs and not a ‘foreign object’.</p> <p><img style="width: 0px; height: 0px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7832417/tooth-body.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/05204a0162064ff59685b602d25dcaea" /></p> <p>The tooth measured at 1cm and was removed from <span>Zhang’s nose in a 30-minute surgery.
