A lump of pure gold the size of a matchbox can be flattened into a sheet the size of a tennis court.

Because the cardiac sphincter only allows one way flow, horses are unable to eructate (burp or vomit) that's why there's so many cases of colic. If their stomach is distended for too long, they can suffer from gastric rupture!

Did you know the actor Robert Mitchum hated acting? He thought it was for sissies. He said he only did it because he knew he was good at it and he made a lot of money.

Did you know that acting would have actually made Robert Mitchum eructate, but his sphincter wouldn't allow it? He was usually quite colicky on the movie set.

I think I'm confused. :?

Let me help PashaRu! Robert Mitchum was a sissy horse that couldn't burp and he became so colicky on the movie set that his stomach ruptured...

I think... ;)

Okay, okay, lemme see if I have this straight....

Robert Mitchum had a gastric rupture, and he had to have a horse's sphincter transplanted onto his face by a rich sissy doctor. This made him hate acting. And he could only burp one way, which is why he always drank coffee out of an old boot.
