BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – A Mississippi woman who was shot in the head not only survived but made herself tea and offered an astonished deputy something to drink.

"There is a space in the brain where a missile could pass without doing any major damage. Is it possible? Yes. It would be rare,"
said Dr. Patrick Pritchard, an assistant professor of surgery at the University of Alabama-Birmingham.

A f*ucking missile? WOW!!!11

Musta had a big forehead.

that woman proves that a cup of tea can make anything better

If she got half her brains blown out, and was still cogent enough to make tea.... shows how little of our brains we actually use.

I've heard of similar stories before. Some kid in the statres got one whole entire side of his head shot off. survived quite happily. Another owman in England got a 10-inch knife in the back of the skull and walked away...

my biology teacher, in an attempt to show us all how resilient the brain was (and possibly to gross us out) told us a story from an old book of strange cases he had where they found this guy dead laying on his bed in his locked flat with the top of his head blown off with no gun anywhere in the room.

his handlady had spoken to him a few hours earlier and he had helped her bring bags upstairs and said goodbye and she didn't hear any noise from him after that.

they eventually followed a blood trail down the street to an old bus shelter where they found the gun with his prints on it and a hole in the top of the shelter with blood spatter and little bits of brain and bone on it. he'd decided to top himself and gone and done the deed but when he didn't die he just went home to sit on his bed and waited.

i also seem to remember a story about two drunk guys and a crossbow doing the william tell re-enactment that left a crossbow bolt buried several inches into one guys skull, dead centre right in between the two halves of his brain but didn't kill him.
