Man Shoots Nails into Skull (Pics~!)

[MrRant]

LOS ANGELES -- Six nails embedded in the skull of construction worker Isidro Mejia, 39, after an industrial incident caused a nail gun to shoot nails into his head and brain on April 19, 2004, are seen in this X-ray image from Providence Holy Cross Hospital in Los Angeles. Five of the six nails were removed in surgery that day and the sixth was removed from his face on April 23, after the swelling went down.

Is there gonna be any lasting damage from this? Looks painful.

[Guest cobainwasmurdered]

no, I'm sure he'll be able to just shrug off having 6 nails in his HEAD.

[Nighthawk]

It really can't speak too highly of your intelligence if you shrug off 6 nails in the brain.

[Slayer]

I have 5 nails in my head right now, and I'm doing JUST FINE~!

 

 

 

 

 

....*thud*

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

Hey, that looks like an old X-Ray of my skull...

 

Seriously, DAMN thats gonna hurt. I have no idea what kind of damage that would do, but the size of the nails spell out brain damage.

[Lil' Bitch]

What's amazing about this is the guy survived. That's fucking crazy.

[Mik]

no, I'm sure he'll be able to just shrug off having 6 nails in his HEAD.

It's happened before...you ignorant motherfucker.

 

Try reading a book instead of cutting down trees or fathering illegitimate drug addicted children.

[Guest cobainwasmurdered]

Jesus kid, I wasn't flaming you, I was making a statement.

 

Calm the heck down.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Awesome as hell.

 

Here's a knife in a dog:

 

 

And this is a crossbow bolt through a guy's dome:

I smell a cover-up.

The phrase "hard as nails" springs to mind...but clearly his skull isn't. I wish I'd read that article now in the Metro, thanks for the link MrRant.

Some doctor.

[Ced]

Man...that guy hasn't been brushing very well. Look at all those fillings. Tsk tsk.

Get a load of this. I can't remember the guy's name. Some psych major on here probably would, it's a well-documented case. Elijah something, maybe.

 

Anyway, this guy was a railroad worker back in the days before dynamite or nitro, and they were blasting away some rocks. This involved drilling a hole in the rock, and packing explosive powder down the hole with a HEAVY METAL ROD. I'm talking, crowbar sized or bigger. Anyway, this powder blew up on him, shooting the tamping rod up through his jaw and out the top of his head. He survived, but the thing severed his frontal lobe or some such, thus causing him to be a reckless drunken maniac for the rest of his life. He was reportedly a mild-mannered average joe before that.

You're acting very high and mighty when your original comment was just begging to be mocked. I mean, c'mon, re-read it. Not exactly a Cornell level analysis of the situation, was it?

 

And for the love of God, are we going to have some new jokes against CWM? Making fun of him being a lumberjack, alcoholic, and illigitimate father is getting old. In fact, relying on thsoe characteristics to mock him is just lazy. Be a tad more imaginative if you want a more succesfull flame against the guy.

Phinneas Gage.

 

As for my original comment, I meant lasting mental damage. There is a possibility that he could be totally normal after this happened if the nails didn't touch areas of the brain that affect anything serious.

 

As for what I said to CWM, I apologize, I was pretty drunk last night.

[Ravenbomb]

yeah, we watched a video of Phinneus Gage in Human Behavior. Messed up.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Yeah, him. At least it was an old-timey name.

Making fun of lumberjacks and illegitimate fatherhood never gets old, no matter who it is.

 

When did cwm have an illegitimate kid? (Three months ago I would have used a different term.)

[A Happy Medium]

"His former physician, John Harlow, interviewed his friends and relatives, and wrote two, reporting Gage's reconstructed medical history, one in 1948, entitled "Passage of an Iron Rod Through the Head", and another in 1868, titled "Recovery from the Passage of an Iron Rod Through the Head"."

 

Reminds me of Hans Moleman's "Man Getting Hit in The Groin with a Football."
