What do soap, a billiard ball and an ice pick have in common?
Ordinarily not much, except that those items and many more ended up in different orifices of the human body during 2014.
Website deadspin.com has compiled a list of the strangest and most oddly shaped objects that somehow entered people's bodies in the past year after examining the US Consumer Product Safety Commission's database of emergency room visits.
Soap, a diamond and a screw were all recovered from people's ears, while a toothpick, fishing sinker and sponge were found in people's noses.
One person managed to get a clothes hanger stuck in their throat, while another nearly choked on a brillo pad.
Meanwhile, a set of keys, a toothbrush holder and tent stakes needed to be removed from people's rectums.
Deadspin.com does not detail how those items came to be inside people's bodies.
The website has listed the objects according to which orifice they were found in.
