well lets put it this way if he swallowed it
then it would have to get through his kidneys before landing in the bladder

not possible

however for the story to be true the wire would have to be non ferrous or it would have simply rusted

copper or lead would have caused blood problems

so unless it was silver, gold, platinum or titatium or some of the few exotic pure metals that are benign in the body its a real conundrum

but whatever it was, it is

a) fucking odd

b) highly entertaining

Why the fuck would copper cause blood problems?
And silver would cause Argia (sp?) so his piss would have been blue/black.

in high concentrations, ingested copper is toxic

whereas silver in most cases can be used for jewelery and has beed used in dentistry for years

I have no idea what Argia is
