If he did then he would be dead. You not only need the rib cage to protect the internal organs of the thorax but also to breath - the diaphragm and the small intercostal muscles all assist respiration. There are also a number of other muscles attach the the ribs with move the neck, spine, shoulder, hips....
Answer: no he did not or could he.

If he did, he better duck from anything coming his way. He will either die of a heart attack because somebody smacked him, or he will die of a clapsed lung. Your rib cage is protection from anything bumping tino the front of you.

It's an urban legend; he supposedly did this in order to, uh, orally pleasure himself. It's not true.

No it isn't true, but the reason people think he had it done is funny.

If that had happened he would be dead because his internal organs would be crushed.
