Americans just can’t stop sticking things in themselves and each other.

Renewing an inward-looking annual tradition, Deadspin has released an inventory of items that people stuffed, shoehorned or otherwise deposited into human orifices across the nation.

Culling emergency-room data from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the site organized the list by cavity — ranging from the nostrils to the nether regions. The website did not always specify just why these items ended up where they did.

One person opted for a flammable liquid and filled his ear canal with gasoline.

American noses were subjected to a startling array of insertions, including a plastic snake and miniature hockey sticks.
