Stones in the body (and I'm not talking about kidneys)

Thank you to my brother (he always has his eyes open for an interesting tidbit or two). It's always nice to know other people have the same troubles and you're not totally weird.

Tonsil Stones "What are those things growing in my tonsils?”

"...Formally known as tonsilloliths, the stones consist of mucus, dead cells and other debris that collect in the deep pockets of the tonsils and gradually condense into small, light-colored globs... the stones can cause an array of uncomfortable side effects, including sore throat and ear pain, not to mention the maddening sensation of a foreign body in the throat...." link:http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/01/health/01tons.html?em

wikipedia even has an article

and then there is tonsilstones.org
