You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™
The weekend news cycle.
Newt wins South Carolina. Joe Paterno dies. Romney releases taxes. Syracuse loses 1st game at Notre Dame. NFL FINAL FOUR. The sea continues to claim a cruise ship in Italy.
The world keeps spinning around the sun and that means stories of interest, importance and idiocy continue to flash across the horizon.
But some stories stay off the front page, until vacuum cleaners of crazy content like me scoop them up and present them for your approval.
DATELINE: ORLAND PARK, Illinois
I bang my funny bone and I want to call 911.
This guy shoots a nail into his mellon and he carries on for almost two days before going to the hospital.
HUH?
I stepped on a carpet nail last night and it brought me down faster than a Middle Eastern regime targeted by a Twitter campaign.
This guy is either tough as nails or dumb as hell.
According to published reports; a hearty soul named Dante Autullo shot himself in the head with a nail gun.
When he looked in the mirror he saw a small cut.
“Whew,” he whispered, wiping the blood away from his skull. “Close one.”
Then he went out and did what any of us would do, he started plowing snow.
“Hey Bill, can you believe all this snow?”
La Dee Dah. La Dee Dah.
Then; a day later, the 32 year old began feeling nauseous.
An X-ray revealed the nail had lodged itself sideways in the center of his brain, just millimeters away from the section of the brain that controls motor functions.
According to published reports, most of his family and friends thought his X-ray image was a hoax.
It does look photo shopped, doesn’t it?
“I hoped that it wasn’t going to be as bad as it looked,” Jerri Autullo said.
The father of four had successful surgery to remove the nail
where part of his skull has been replaced with a titanium plate.
And that is crazy.
