Tell me about it! Can you believe that?

No, I think that's Jesus H. Christ!

I would think that this would be the time to praise the deity of your choice, rather than blaspheme one. That guy was really, really, really, really, really lucky/fortunate/blessed/whatever. Wow.

Yeah, but it still had to hurt like a sonofabith.

I think that's Jesus H. Christ! Really? I thought they put the nails through his hands and feet.

Plus, really, since it was an "accident," and God is all-powerful, and all-knowing, we can actually say that God drove that nail into the man's head.

By: Marquis

Marquis — Thu, 02 Aug 2001 12:47:03 -0800

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is the "Jesus Christ!"=blasphemy concept actually rooted in scripture? The Commandment "Thou shalt not take the lord's name in vain" refers to breaking vows that are sworn by God's name, at least in Jewish law...

At least his hand wasn't hacked off as well.

Wouldn't a proper god-like creature have prevented this from happening in the first place? Sounds like a pretty mad deity to me, pulling tricks like this one...

damn! i was just about to post that story about the dude with the hand and the nail gun, and wan't able to find a link. that happened right over here in PA. scary. and he lived...

I wonder if that nail's a problem in airport metal detectors.

At least his co-worker did it up big. I once tried to nail a girl and got slapped for my efforts.

Gah! I think I would have died just from the shock of having a freakin' nail shot into my face!!! Makes me shiver just to think of it. And Marquis, according to my confirmation teacher (this was before I found my way), saying "Jesus Christ" or "God" or even "Jeez!" as an expression not having to do with worship is considered taking the Lord's name in vain, and therefore blasphemy.

The X-ray makes it look like he has a curly little beard.

By: jeb

jeb — Thu, 02 Aug 2001 13:26:24 -0800

A doctor who examined the X-ray says a 56-year-old carpenter "has got to be the luckiest guy in the world." Luckiest guy in the world? He just got shot in the face with a nailgun!

>Wouldn't a proper god-like creature have prevented >this from happening in the first place? Not one who believes in free will. So the god can't stop people from firing nails pretty far into their heads, but it can stop them from firing them so that they hurt their own brain? Well that's just logical, isn't it?

I once shot a nail through my finger on a summer job (with four days left). The doctor told me that I was very lucky also, I missed the bone by a fraction. No, really, it's true. I think that I am the second luckiest guy on earth.

Eh. Nothing compares to Phineas Gage. Forget the wimpy little nailguns, how about a 3-foot tamping iron through your head!

This article reminded me of the foreman in Happy Gilmore. "Guns don't kill people, I do."

Hankins, your link is even weirder. That guy put a dozen in his head on purpose!

Nice pic, brad. Why am I not surprised that it happened in Jacksonville?

boston.com and the boston globe had a "let's publish weird articles with x-rays" day today, methinks.

dhartung — Thu, 02 Aug 2001 16:51:04 -0800

All sorts of ... lovely things at this guy's medical photography page, e.g. a guy with a rear-view mirror embedded in his head. Uh, I think he didn't make it. Friend of a friend, she's been bugging me to plug him for aeons. Have at it.

By: briank

briank — Thu, 02 Aug 2001 18:02:37 -0800

I'm really glad I looked at that link AFTER I had those chicken sausages for dinner......gaw-DAMN, dhartung! (for those of you who haven't clicked yet...medical photography of the most graphic kind, and some weird cheery MIDI music to go with it.....not for the weak of stomach)

By: lotsofno

lotsofno — Thu, 02 Aug 2001 18:34:20 -0800

after checking out that link dhartung supplied, all i can say is "What the f*ck?" At first the graphic pictures disgusted me, but then came the music... What could have possibly motivated the designer to use the Doogie Howser theme song MIDI to go with those pictures? It just seemed like the most akward thing... Ever.

By: glenwood

Well that's just logical, isn't it? It's the great loophole of Christianity! When something bad happens, it's because God decided to enact free will. When something good happens, he gets all the credit. When you pray, and the thing you prayed for happens, then God has answered your prayer! When it does not happen, then he has answered your prayer with a 'no'. Neat, huh? And I'll bet by my post you thought I was a Jesus Crispy... :)
