Posted March 8, 200520 yr http://www.news.com.au/story/0,10117,12465622-13762,00.html article: HOSPITAL staff treating a retired teacher for a headache in Poland found a 12.5cm blade in his head. Polish doctors had X-rayed Leonard Woronowicz, 61, to see if he had cracked his skull in a fall while doing some repairs in his kitchen four days earlier. Instead they found the blade just below his right ear. It had snapped off at the handle. "I thought they might give me an aspirin. Instead they pulled a 5inch knife blade out of my head," he said. Mr Woronowicz said the knife must have been among tools scattered on the floor. He did not realise it was missing until he needed to cut some bread. "Despite carefully searching the room I could only find the handle. But I forgot about it as my headaches got worse over the next few days." x-ray: http://network.news.com.au/image/0,10114,423983,00.jpg
March 8, 200520 yr bloody Poles, that guy must have had a hard-on all the time he had the blade in his head. i'll bet he won't get a raise any more after that, like there's nothing more there to 'whet his whistle'.

March 8, 200520 yr How the fuck wouldn't you notice a knife in your head. Yeah, I mean I certainly would know if a knife entered my head that I broke the handle of. Fake, probably.
March 8, 200520 yr Author Yeah, I mean I certainly would know if a knife entered my head that I broke the handle of. Fake, probably. Just wondering, before saying something's fake, do you actually check that website out in the sense of just looking around?
March 8, 200520 yr don't you think that DRIPPING BLOOD may be a clue that there's something more than just a headache? That mother fucker should have died... I would have laughed if he did.

And those seemed like bs too. That,s why.
March 8, 200520 yr Not unbelievable, actually...I knew a guy who spent almost all day working with a 4" piece of allthread stuck in his lower back without knowing it...didn't bleed because the allthread (basically a steel dowel with screw threads up the whole length) "plugged" the hole it had made when it was driven in, and he figured the pain he was feeling was just a result of having been hit by the pile of crap that had fallen off the scaffold and hit his back to begin with (which was what had put the allthread peiece there, to begin with). Figure it this way...the fucker fell, and hit his head, hard enough to drive a 5" kitchen knife into his skull (one of the harder bones in the body). If it was a cheapie steak or bread knife...like from one of the plastic handled sets you get at Wal-Mart or Target, the blade was pretty light and flexible steel, which just means he hit all that much harder. He hit hard enough to not only drive this blade in, but to snap it off its tang...which wouldn't happen without cracking the skull further, if it was a quality knife, which supports the idea of a cheapie blade. The natural fulcrum for bending and breaking the knife off IS his skull, with his bodyweight being one end of the "lever" and the floor being the other...so it's likely the blade broke off right at the surface, seeing how thin the flesh there actually is...so the wound MAY have been tight around the blade, the same way an arrow wound is when using a small game tip (as opposed to a broadhead)...I'll tell you from personal experience that rabbit and such don't bleed until you REMOVE the arrow (nor do people, as a friend of mine discovered when we were playing cowboys and indians with BB guns and recurve bows, when I was a kid...got shot right through the thigh, didn't bleed a drop until the doctor removed the arrow, and then bled like a stuck hog) Hitting the ground that hard with his head (and, as he said, landing on scattered toold, most of which were metal, I bet) is good for a decent concussion...anyone who's had a GOOD concussion can tell you that you can still be a bit scatterbrained three or four days later, and are NEVER entirely sure exactly what happened when you got it...you remember everything right up until a big flash of light behind your eyes, then you remember (vaguely) getting up...and you're pretty vague on that, and everything else for a few minutes afterwards. I dunno that I buy the "I figured they'd give me an aspirin and I'd go home" bit...but anyone who took THAT hard a hit to the head and NOTICED the concussive symptoms (as he did, admitting lack of ability to concentrate, and forgetfulness), and didn't bother going to see a doc isn't all that bright to begin with, so maybe he WAS that dumb, and figured his head hurt because he'd banged it REAL good.
March 8, 200520 yr a very fruitful, and intellectual post btw. however, I'm sure you meant something like this: http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/HTMLPlus/htmlplus_AFrame_3.gif
March 8, 200520 yr lol...yeah, I tend to post like a guest lecturer... STill, like I siad, I could buy it happening...seen similar (though not as bad) and read about worse from reliable sources.
March 8, 200520 yr your post was indeed a good example of trajectory over thickness. The best I've seen yet.
March 9, 200520 yr this isnt as bad as the guy who got a 9inch combat knife shoved threw the top of his skull. This is more like the jaw.
March 9, 200520 yr since you put it that way, I suppose it does make a bit of sense... Still can't help but to think he should have died...
March 9, 200520 yr i had something similar to this happen to me and makes it sort of easier to understand how you wouldn't know. when i was in 9th grade i was down in mississippi at my cousins ranch off-roading on 4-wheelers, right before we went in for the night i did one last jump off this dirt mound he had in the side yard, which was close to some trees, but had enough distance between them and where you would land to stop in time. well, don't know why or how but, the last time i landed it knocked the break fluid box loose which was sitting on top of the handle bars. so when i landed and tried to break nothing happened, i tried to skid the atv sideways but its not as easy as it looks on tv, so i tried the emergency foot break but by the time i did that while being panicked my front right tire hit one of the trees turning the handlebars parallel to my body and throwing my body forward into them at about 40mph which was how fast i was going when i landed from the jump. not realizing that i had been impaled from my abdomen up into my stomach, and having a concussion from the whiplash throwing my helmet off my head and my head slamming into the tree, i just thought i had broke some of my ribs, i only felt a ache in my stomach and abdomen. so, knowing i probably fucked my ribs up and my head/neck hurt like hell i pushed myself up off the atv, looked over at my cousin who was staring at me and not saying anything, i walked back to the house, went in and told his mom who was an ER nurse i need to get to the hospital. s soon as i walked in the door and said that her and my mom who ahd been in the kitchen talking at the time looked at me and screamed, i looked down and realized all the blood gushing out of a hole covered in mangled skin, muscle, and nerves. lol. i sat down on the couch and pulled up my shirt to see the hole and surprisingly it still was no more than an ache you get from cracked ribs, which might seem like a lot, but considering what actually did happen it should have been 1000x worse. they pulled me up off the couch and put me in her suv and drove me to the er, a couple surgeries later, getting addicted to demerol for a week, i was out of the hospital with my stomach and abdomen stapled up and 3 broken ribs. i was in bed for about a month and the first time i took a shit on the toilet was the worst pain i've ever felt in my life to this day. this was because the week i was in the hospital my bowels were shut down from trauma, and of course, because they got impaled, rofl. 26 staples in my stomach and 16 in my crotch. supposedly, according to some doctor on an oprah episode, and from my anatomy books from med school, your brian wont cause you to feel pain from wounds so massive there would be no way you would not realize what happened and not know to seek help, this is true whether you see what happens to you or whether it was an accident and you don't see the wound. i hardly even remember pulling the handlebar out of me, my mind was focused on getting to the hospital even though i didn't know what was wrong, i knew i needed to get there, and just pulled myself off the atv. anyways, ya, cool story and cool scars, i didn't give a lot of details or tell that very well but, after telling the story to about 500 people since it happened it gets really old.
