Patrick Lawler went to the dentist because of a persistent toothache on the roof of his mouth. The dentist soon found out the cause: a four-inch nail the construction worker had unknowingly shot into his skull almost a week earlier!

    A coworker of mine is a descendant of Phineas Gage, the man who had a railroad spike driven through his skull and lived to tell the tale.

    I never get how people “unknowingly” do these types of things.

    *fires off a nail gun into his mouth* “AAAH the roof of my mouth is bleeding! Oh well it probably is just my imagination!”

    Not all parts of your body will bleed. They used to “perform” lobotomies by driving a rod through the tissue just above the eyeballs, behind the skull bone (under your eyebrow, shooting up. 2 minutes of scraping in your brain and you were “fixed” and usually without bleeding.
