Sorry, had to share this one....

MAN DRILLS THROUGH SKULL

A Californian man is lucky to be alive after an accident on a construction site.

Ron Hunt was drilling into a wall when the ladder he was standing on slipped.


His head was impaled on the drill bit.

Surgeons had to literally unscrew the tool from his skull.

Mr Hunt lost the sight in his right eye but still considers himself to be a very lucky man.

Well, seeing as how he is from California, I don't think he has to be too worried about brain damage.

I think that beats my story about the pregnant woman that got impaled on a microphone stand. o .o

Same thing happened to Phineas Gage. Only they didn't remove it and he lived with it for the rest of his life.

Only his hypothalamus was severed from the rest of his brain, leaving him with no control over his emotions. I was going to post that earlier, I wonder why I decided not to.
