Peru: 1.5 lbs. of nails pulled from man's stomach: "'They call me the hardware store,' says Requelme Abanto from his hospital bed in northern Peru.
Doctors in the city of Cajamarca say they removed 1.5 pounds of metal from Abanto's stomach, including nails, coins, and rusted copper wire and scrap metal.

Delgado said specialists are examining Abanto's mental health as he recovers.
The 26-year-old construction worker ate the metal for months, and told Peru's Channel 9 television that he may now do it in public 'as sport.'"
