Talking out of his arse

Gliwice: A Polish man who had his tongue removed has a new one made using tissue taken from his buttocks.

Jarislav Ernst, 23, from Gliwice, now has a functioning tongue made from his backside after surgery at the Oncology Clinic in Gliwice's General Hospital.

Head doctor Stanislaw Poltorek said: "The new tongue is alive and well-supplied with blood, and the patient is doing well."

Mr Ernst's tongue was removed after it was diagnosed with cancer.
