I was laughing because my teacher has no toes and I accidently swallowed a peice of gum.
It's now lodged inthe back of my throat and I'm worried I'll die.
What will happen?

I've always been under the impression that swallowing gum had no effect whatsoever, so I never had a problem doing so. I now know that there are some dangers... but I doubt that I'll stop.

Oops - thanks Justin. It was pretty lame for SciAm to split it to two short pages just to boost their pageviews. Nevertheless, I've fixed it.
