Don't tell me, let me guess...a penny for your thoughts??? Okay, so it's was
a tasteless pun (copper, get it...tasteless... ;)
Anyway, here's a continuation on your thought. After the penny goes beyond
the stomach and into the intestines, it isn't going to be digested, it'll just
basically sit there and cause all sorts of cramps, pains, or worse, death (no,
I am NOT kidding).
Similar circumstances have occurred.
But anyway, at what stage does something become "a foreign object" to be
disposed of by the body (aka: rejected) and when does it become an "implant",
and thus a permanent part of the body and thereby causing essence loss?
