This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Could there be a more compelling anti-war message than the places we're still finding shells a century later?

That's not very compelling.

Rectum? Damn near killed 'em!

There was no initial explanation as to why the shell ended up in the man’s body, but local media speculated that it might have had something to do with his social life.

"Find"?

I'm pretty sure it wasn't lost.

24 year old man with artillery in his rectum: "Ooo, how did that get there? I didn't notice one going down when I was eating. I thought it was a bit uncomfortable when I tried to poop. Well thank you for sorting that out for me. I couldn't kee... No, no, ok, I guess you're right."

Older, wiser, less desperately horny men: if it doesn't have a flared base, or if there's any possibility it could come apart or break, don't put it in. Source: the internet.

tl;dr: he was walking with it and tripped, and his ass landed on it and it slipped in.

They say you gotta be careful of where you dig in Europe, as to not disturb live explosives. But this is just getting out of hand!

The daily mail? You could have cross-posted this perfectly reasonable story: https://feddit.org/post/25268119

Plus Vice has a very fun take: https://www.vice.com/en/article/a-man-turned-up-at-hospital-with-a-live-wwi-artillery-shell-in-his-butt/
