Teen Survives After Being Stabbed in Head by 10-Inch Knife

[Asclepius]

A teenage boy playing a video game at an Internet café in China was stabbed with a 10-inch knife that went clear through his skull -- and survived with little noticeable damage, according to a report. Xiao Wei, 16, who was attacked in a dispute over the video game he was playing, was able to walk into the emergency room entrance of Jillin University with the knife still lodged in his head, the Daily Mail reported.

The knife, which had been thrust into his left temple, had three-quarters of an inch sticking out of the right side of his head.

These types of things never cease to amaze me. I'm amazed first because someone could get so angry about a video game that they'd stab someone in the head. I'm also amazed that his guy walked into the ED and is going to have nearly no symptoms from this attack.

Every day something about the human body just amazes me to no end. I remember when I was younger, my dad would tell me stories about when he was in Vietnam. He would talk about how some guys would just get shot once and die right away, while others seemed to be riddled with bullets, and survive. It's simply dumbfounding how someone can survive a 10 inch knife to the head, and some other person can die from a paper cut (flesh eating bacteria).

This kid is one lucky SOB.

Lucky SOB. It is indeed amazing the injuries people can survive from. I recall a guy who was standing in front of me with a knife sticking out of his left chest, pulsing with each heart beat. I recall thinking- hmm, I can just count how many times the knife bounces to record his pulse. LOL

He survived. Amazingly the wound tamponaded itself and he did not bleed out.

This is why knives should be banned. Only those that want to commit crimes carry them. Only those with specialized training should ever handle them. No Knives, No knives, No Knives.

LMAO

Does that mean you advocate a ban on that potentially lethal silverware in steak houses?

Does that mean we will have to enjoy our filet mignons pre-cut?

I can truly see the hazards of steak knives. Ever been to an Outback? You need 2 hands just to pick one of those suckers up. LOL

He may have walked into the ER, but I wonder if he is going to have any long term personality changes? The knife looks like he almost got a lobotomy.
