I read an article on page 28 in The Sun newspaper on 19/07/2008 and I quote "Hail Shot Me Off Loo - SHOCKED Martin Bierbauer was blasted off the toilet when a torrent of golf ball-sized hailstones exploded from the bowl. They zoomed up the U-bend when local drains got blocked with the pieces of ice during a storm. Martin, 45 of Eisenstadt, Austria, said "I heard the pipes rumbling - then out came the hailstones. It was like a popcorn machine." Is this even possible?

It was reported in the SUN, and it allegedly happened in foreign parts, where the laws of likelyhood and physics are both more relaxed than here.

No doubt, but it was a story that made me giggle and a myth is not called a myth because it's 100% true. But i don't think thats reason enough not to investigate the matter more thoroughly. Oh and just to redeem myself somewhat, I don't generally read The Sun.
