Bullets and the swallowing thereof.

However, stomach acid is strong enough to dissolve some lead.

Hydrochloric acid does not dissolve lead. At high concentrations it can react with it, but I beleive it forms lead chloride, which is insoluble and unlikely to be absorbed.

I don't see a reason to test this though by swallowing a bullet!

Although I despise them, I would like to throw out a +1 to Drizzt for that awesome cartoon. I'm on my way to becoming an academic and I thought that was hysterical.

If the lead were in finely devided particles you could get 10-15% absorbtion into the blood from the digestive system depending on a number of factors (diet, etc). A lead slug would probably be a lot less due to surface area considerations.
