Man Spears Self In Head, Survives
from the oops dept.
Hiro sent me this one, from CNN, about an unnamed 20-year-old Greek man who apparently speared himself in the head while diving off Crete, then floated in the water for several hours before being discovered. Doctors removed the spear, which had passed through an “unused” area of his brain, during a three-hour operation; the man is apparently doing fine.

This is absolutely true. This is my friend from Santorini’s son.
He is fine. Perfectly fine. There was no damage as a result of this freak accident.
He still goes spearfishing.
