Good morning, I'm David Greene. A 50-year-old man in China was having some X-rays done. And something weird showed up - well, two things, actually - two ballpoint pens on his lower right side.

No word on what the bet was about. Apparently, nobody thought to write it down. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
