if you go to the link, there's a photo of the model of her stomach.

It's a good thing she ate as much grass as she did. It's mainly a huge, stomach-shaped wad of glued together grass. Way to big to ever have tried to fish out.

When I first read this, all I could think of was how was she still alive. If the glue had dried to the mucosal lining of the stomach wall, I don't know how they could possibly have gotten it out without destroying her stomach in the process.
