UriN8ing Beetles

New Brunswick, New Jersey: June 25, 2003 A 30-something-year-old man has begun producing winged beetles in his urine after hatching the eggs in his body, a senior State of New Jersey medical official said Monday. Doctor Saul Rosenberg, Medical Director of Middlesex County where the man is currently residing, said doctors found the beetles while examining him for pain in the groin area. Through hospital sources, the name of the patient was revealed to be none other than world mystery man N8. "Doctors were really surprised to see the beetles," he told the media. "There are eggs of the beetle in a fistula in his body and he is getting medical treatment to try to kill the eggs," Rosenberg said. N8 had been taken to the hospital Sunday after complaining of pain while urinating. According to authorities, N8 has no medical records -- which makes the diagnosis and treatment all the more complicated. The beetles -- more than a quarter inch in length -- belong to the Staphylinidae rove beetle family of insects. Most types are predators but some feed on fungi, algae, and decaying plant matter. An expert in urology, Doctor N. Subramanian, said that in theory it was possible for insects to hatch in the body and come out in urine but said he had not heard of such a case. "It beats the hell out of me," Subramanian remarked. "Just where someone would have to go or what he would have to do to fall into such a predicament blows my mind. Who is this guy?"
