Gastro Slalom Race is won by whomever "passes" the special teflon coated ferro-magnetic torpedo first.
To assist with its progress each competitor has a dotted line drawn unto their torso, marking the direction of their intestinal tract, and is equipped with a powerful magnet to encourage the progress
of the torpedo as it negotiates the various internal bowel convolutions.
A team of surgeons are kept on stand-by.
Jumping about is not permitted.
No responsibility accepted for any adverse after-reactions.
//teflon coated ferro-magnetic// my arse!

Dang. I thought this said "salami." |
|
| |
Incidentally, it can be extremely dangerous to swallow, separately, _two_ powerful magnets. They can pinch a fold of G.I. tract between themselves. |
|
| |
Also, I hope those surgeons know not to put you in a NMRI machine. |

It doesn't need to be magnetic: just fill up on your favourite colon cleanser and you're off to the races. There's also a drug that contracts the colon muscles as well... though that would perhaps be illegal for competition. |

Will the edited CT highlights be available on DVD? |

//two powerful magnets// True, whereas one
magnet is safe. Applying the Scientific Method, and
using inductive reasoning, we hypothesize that an
odd number of magnets is safe and proceed to
swallow 3 magnets, at 1-hour intervals. |
|
| |
The results of this experiment lead to a new
hypothesis: a prime number of magnets is unsafe.
(Swallows 4 magnets at one-hour intervals.) |

Five words: baking-soda and peroxide propulsion. |
|
| |
That's not just five words, it's a death sentence. |
|
| |
A major sentence contains a finite verb. Minor sentence, no finite verb. A death sentence usually contains several verbs: be taken, be hanged, etc. |
|

Ah, yes: //propulsion// -- a gerund.
OK, how about "no
predicate" ? |
