I am more amused by the fact that there's an advert for nail guns at the bottom of this thread...

I'm more amused by the fact that Sesq appears to have also nailed a glove to his fingers.

Amazing! Though the volume of lost brain mass wasn't that great, he was damn lucky to miss the important blood vessels.
Twelve nails... I can't even start to imagine how desperate he must have been :eek2:

I can't imagine how doped he must have been.  One through the fingers was plenty painful enough (especially when the triage nurse made me sit for two bloody hours in the waiting room without so much as an asprin!)
Sesqu... Sesqui... what?

I don't know why but this makes me laugh.

It's just the thought of this guy, so desperate, depressed and off his head that he decides to give it all up. He picks up Winowna, his trusty Nail gun, put's her against his sad despressed little head and closes his eyes, wishing his life an unfond farewell.

Doh! He realises he's not dead. Sighs and tries again.

cnn.com has a video online now about the guy, showing the x-rays and also the nails after they were extracted from his head. Just... wow. It's unbelieveable.

"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Well... we might be screwed, but he's definitely nailed.  :D

Which do you prefer - sure nailing or possible screwing?

Reminds me of how some guy in the UK a few years back commited suicide with a drill.

Took eight holes.

Reading that literally made me cry out in horror.

It'd be great if you could find the original news article or something corroborating...

Okay, I am working on it.

I cannot find any news article... but it is a trivia fact on quite a few websites.

It is around August, 1982, if I remember correctly.

'In 1982, Englishman William Hall committed suicide by drilling holes into his head with a power drill . . . it took 8 holes.' copied and pasted from http://home.bitworks.co.nz/trivia/body.htm

My apologies, I wished I could track better links...

Say... would anyone know of a UK based newspaper that archives that far back?

Well it could be possible, physically, to do it. But stayin conscious to do it eight times might be the trick. Althought, the brains do not feel, so you might just feel the vibration... Well I really can't imagine what it would be like, 'cos I'm starting to feel sick :ick:
