Hammered Guy Hammered 8-Inch Nail Into Own Skull

Posted by Alex in Odd News on November 12, 2009 at 2:52 pm

Someone tell Lin Ma that being hammered doesn’t mean that he should literally hammer his own skull:

Hard-headed husband Lin Ma hammered a nail into his own skull after a bust up with his wife over his boozing.

Lin, 66, of Yuyi, southern China, pounded the eight inch nail into his head when wife Su, 60, read him the riot act over a drinking session.

Amazingly, he survived which yet another confirmation that alcohol is good for people with head injury: Link (Photo: europics.at)

With this fist warhammer, you’ll be the talk of any LARP session that you attend. The design studio Martus & Silvio in Grand Rapids, Michigan made this fist-styled, three foot long, cast iron hammer. They’ve got other cool items of metal work at their site, too, such as a monkey wrench that looks like a human hand.

Heavy Metal Cure for Constipation

Posted by Miss Cellania in Medicine on July 24, 2009 at 11:46 am

48-year old Viorel Firoiu of Orlea, Romania, admits he was drunk when he tried to cure his constipation by sticking a hammer in his rectum. He went to a hospital where x-rays revealed not one, but two hammerheads inside!

Dr Cristina Bontescu, spokeswoman for the local hospital where he turned up at the emergency unit, said: “He was a bit drunk and said he had been eating cherries that had left him badly constipated. He said he had a few drinks to dull the pain and then came up with the idea of poking a hammerhead up his backside in the hope of sorting out the constipation.

“But the hammerhead got stuck and then he came up with the idea of using a second hammerhead in order to try and get out the first – but then he lost the second one as well.”

The hammerheads had to be removed surgically. Link

In Case of Emergency...

The picture isn’t great, but the hack is awesome. Apparently its origins are unknown – a friend of BoingBoing’s David Pescovitz pointed it out to him, and here we are, basking in its coolness. Anyone seen it before?

Mexican Bomb Hammer Party

Strap explosives to the business end of a long hammer and bang it hard on the ground. That’s the basic idea of this strange celebration in the town of San Juan de la Vega in Guanajuato, Mexico.

Metafilter user aetg explains what’s going on:

OK, so the reasons for doing so may be a little vague, but in any case, they’re exploding ‘artisanal’ explosives of a potassium chloride and sulphur base with big hammers. Apparently 17 people had minor wounds seen to by medics in 2007, and 50 in 2008, mostly due to being hit by explosive fragments, etc. That’s not so bad given that there are 10-20 thousand people that come for the celebration. There are actually authorities supervising everything that’s going on.

Explosives on a hammer? What can go wrong?
